Factored Form:
x^2 - 4x - 5
Simplifying:
x^2 + - 4x + - 5 = 0
Reorder the terms:
- 5 + - 4x + x^2 = 0
Solving for variable " x":
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor ( - 1 + - 1x) equal to Zero and attempt to solve.
Simplifying:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Solving:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add 1 to each side of equation:
- 1 + 1 + - 1x = 0 + 1
Combine Like Terms: 0 + 1 = 1
x = - 1
Divide each side by - 1
x = - 1
Simplifying: x = - 1
Subproblem 2: Set the factor (5 + - 1x) equal to Zero attempt to solve
Simplifying:
5 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add - 5 to each side of the equation
5 + - 5 + - 1x = 0 + 5
Combine Like terms: 5 + - 5 = 0
0 + - 1x = 0 + - 5
- 1x = 0 + - 5
Combine Like Terms: 0 + - 5 = - 5
- 1x = - 5
Divide each side by - 1
x = 5
Simplifying:
x = 5
Solution:
x = { - 1, 5}
Answer when factored:
(x + 1)(x - 5)

Total Marbles = 8 + 6 + 12 + 10 = 36
Probability the marble is blue = 8/36
Inverse this to get the probability of the marble not being blue
Probability of the marble not being blue = 28/36 = 7/9
Answer:
1/35
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/7 / -15/1 =
3/7 * 1/15 =
3 / 105 =
1/35
Answer:
y=9x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 8 + 6m =
(4m + 16) ← distribute parenthesis
- 8 + 6m = 2m + 8 ( subtract 2m from both sides )
- 8 + 4m = 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
4m = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
m = 4
