Answer:
y = -2/5 or y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(5y + 2)(y-1) = 0
(5y+2) = 0
Subtract 2 on both sides.
5y = -2
Divide 5 into both sides.
y = -2/5
(y - 1) = 0
Add 1 on both sides.
y = 1

Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
With that information you can determine how far the park is from the football field.
Call h the height of the triangle, x the distance from the park to the football field and y the distance from the park to the home of Kristen.
Using Pithagora's theorem, ou can state this system of equations:
1) From the complet triangle: x^2 + y^2 = (8 + 2)^2 = 10^2 = 100
2) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the football field:
x^2 = 8^2 + h^2
3) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the home of Kristen:
y^2 = 2^2 + h^2
To solve the system start by subtracting equation 3) from equation 1) =>
x^2 + y^2 = 100
y^2 = 4 + h^2
---------------------
x^2 = 100 - 4 - h^2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
Now sum this result to equation 2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
x^2 = 64 + h^2
---------------------
2x^2 = 96 + 64
2x^2 = 160
=> x^2 = 80
=> x = 8.94
Answer: 8.94 miles
Most of the information's necessary for solving this problem is already given in the question.
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
25% * x = 19
(25/100) * x = 19
x/4 = 19
x = 19 * 4
= 76
So the unknown number is 76. I hope there is no complexity in the method described above and also the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can use this method for solving similar type of problems in future without requiring any additional help from outside.
