Mathematics

PtichkaEL [24]3 years ago

Answer:

x=-1,5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-5=0

In order to solve this quadratic, we have many methods. We can factor, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula. I'm going to factor since it's the easiest method.

To factor, find two numbers that when multiplied equal a(c) and when added equal b.

a=1, b=-4, and c=-5.

So we want two numbers that when multiplied equals 1(-5)=-5 and when added equals -4.

-5 and 1 are the possible numbers. Therefore:

x^2-4x-5=0\\x^2+x-5x-5=0\\x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\(x-5)(x+1)=0\\x=5, -1

Given that:

Ava bring 34 food to the picnic

Kate bring 16 food to the picnic

JIn brings 112 food to the picnic

To enter these digits by applying equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12;

Their respective numerical expression is:

Ava = \dfrac{34}{12}

Ava brought 2 \dfrac{5}{6} food to the picnic

Kate = \dfrac{16}{12}

Kate brought 1 \dfrac{1}{3} food to the picnic

2/5 ÷ 22/35 <br>simplify​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

7/11 (Simplified Already)

Step-by-step explanation: 25÷2235=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

25×3522=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

2×355×22=70110

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 70 and 110 using

GCF(70,110) = 10

70÷10110÷10=711

Therefore:

25÷2235=711

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for division, to

25÷2235

and solve

2×355×22

=70110

Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(70,110) = 10

70÷10110÷10=711

Therefore:

2/5÷22/35=7/11
