We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials

Hope this helped! Good luck :)
the 2 equations that need to be solved are [3x+5] and x-1. If you need the answer to what x is you'd solve it by evening out the problems. so first add one to both so you'd have 3x+6=x then you'd take the 3x and subtract it from both sides making it 6=-2x. Then divide 6 by negative 2 making it -3=x.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
- percent
- percentage words problem
- PEMDAS
<h3>given:</h3>
- population:2500
- decreasing rate:3%
<h3>to find:</h3>
- the population after 11 years
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
according to the question
population decreases in 1 year
population will decrease in 11 years
so the population of the town after 11 years will be
2500-825
<h2>1675</h2>
Doubling the side-lengths will multiply the area by four.
Proof:
Let the side-lengths of the rectangle by x and y. Clearly, the area will be x*y=xy. The new rectangle will have side-lengths 2x and 2y, and thus area 2x*2y=4xy. 4xy/xy=4 - hence, the new rectangle has four times the area of the old one.
