Yes the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3 which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational then the equation is factorable. Please mark a good rating and brainlest

Both169 and 9 are perfect squares.

The square root of 169/9 is rational.

Six plus 13/3 is a rational number, and 6 minus 13/3 is also a rational number.  

If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational, then the equation is factorable.

Point A is located at (−1,−5). The midpoint of line segment AB is point C(2,3). ​ What are the coordinates of point B ?
tamaranim1 [39]

For a segment AB, the coordinates of the middle point C are:

xc=(xa+xb)/2,

yc=(ya+yb)/2.

Now, you know points A and C. Thus we get:

xb=2×xc-xa

yb=2×yc-ya

With numerical values:

xb=2×2-(-1)=4+1=5

yb=2×3-(-5)=6+5=11

Answer: B(5, 11)

John purchased five packs of bubblegum for $.50 each he also bought lollipops for $.25 each how many lollipops did he buy if he
Mrac [35]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the total he spent on bubblegum, from the total price spent on bubblegum and lollipops.

If you multiply the price for one piece of bubblegum by the quantity of bubblegum purchased, you will get the price for all the bubblegum, 0.50 * 5 = 2.50.

Subtract that from the total price “6.50” to get 4.00.

Then you can divide 4.00 by the lollipops price “0.25” to get the quantity of lollipops purchased, 4.00/0.25 = 16.
