Answer:
Part C Would Ray make more money working 40 hours a week for two consecutive weeks, or working 32 hours one week and then 46 hours the next?
Step-by-step explanation:
p² - 12p = 13
p² - 12p - 13 = 0
p² - 13p + p - 13 = 0
p(p) - p(13) + 1(p) - 1(13) = 0
p(p - 13) + 1(p - 13) = 0
(p + 1)(p - 13) = 0
p + 1 = 0 or p - 13 = 0
- 1 - 1 + 13 + 13
p = -1 p = 13
The solution set of the equation is {-1, 13}.
Actually I didn't see the (-5, -27), the answer would be -2.
