Answer:
x = - 2 or x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² - 9x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
Divide all terms by 3
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 10) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)
The factors are - 5 and + 2, since
- 5 × 2 = - 10 and - 5 + 2 = - 3, thus
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Answer: 10 , 13 , 14 , 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of a quadrilateral , we will add all its side , that is
Perimeter = x + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5
That is
52 = x + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5
52 = 4x + 12
subtract 12 from both sides
40 = 4x
divide through by 4
x = 10
therefore , the lengths of the sides are
10 , 10+3 , 10 + 4 , 10 + 5 , that is
10 , 13 , 14 , 15
B = block p = park
2b + p = 10 min 2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min 2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park takes 22 minutes
To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.
2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p
2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22
10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12
2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6
It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park
Hope this helps!
