Simplifying x2 + -8x = 20 Reorder the terms: -8x + x2 = 20 Solving -8x + x2 = 20 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -20 + -8x + x2 = 20 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 -20 + -8x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-2 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x = 0 Solving -2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 2 -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-2, 10}

I factored and got:
(x - 10) (x + 2)
so I set each to 0....and got 10 and -2

What is 63 over 75 as a decimal?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator.  That would be 0.84.

                               3*21

Note that 63/75 = ---------- = 21/25.  Multiplying top and bottom by 4 results

                                3/25                   in 0.84 (so this answer checks out ok)
