Y = 3x^2 - 3x - 6 {the x^2 (x squared) makes it a quadratic formula, and I'm assuming this is what you meant...}

This is derived from:
y = ax^2 + bx + c

So, by using the 'sum and product' rule:

a × c = 3 × (-6) = -18

b = -3

Now, we find the 'sum' and the 'product' of these two numbers, where b is the 'sum' and a × c is the 'product':

The two numbers are: -6 and 3

Proof:

-6 × 3 = -18 {product}

-6 + 3 = -3 {sum}

Now, since a > 1, we divide a from the results

-6/a = -6/3 = -2

3/a = 3/3 = 1

We then implement these numbers into our equation:

(x - 2) × (x + 1) = 0 {derived from 3x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0}

To find x, we make x the subject of 0:

x - 2 = 0

OR

x + 1 = 0

Therefore:

x = 2

OR

x = -1

So the x-intercepts of the quadratic formula (or solutions to equation 3x^2 - 3x -6 = 0, to put it into your words) are 2 and -1.


We can check this by substituting the values for x:

Let's start with x = 2:

y = 3(2)^2 - 3(2) - 6
= 3(4) - 6 - 6
= 12 - 6 - 6
= 0 {so when x = 2, y = 0, which is correct}

For when x = -1:

y = 3(-1)^2 - 3(-1) - 6
= 3(1) + 3 - 6
= 3 + 3 - 6
= 0 {so when x = -1, y = 0, which is correct}

The total weight of 30 bags of flour and 4 bags of sugar is 42.6 kg. If each bag of sugar weighs 0.75 kg, what is the weight of
alina1380 [7]
The answer is: Each bag of flour weighs 1,32 kg. 

If we the total weight of the bags is given, and we know both the number of bags of flour and sugar, and we also know the weight of each bag of sugar, then we have to find the unknown, which is X. 30 times X plus 4 times the weight of a bag of sugar would equal 42.6kg. Next step is to put the unknown on one side and the known values on the other side. We have 30 times X equals 42.6 minus 4 times 0.75. 
To find X we need to divide the value with 30, or to sum up 

30X + 4*0.75 = 42.6
30X + 3 = 42.6
X = (42.6 - 3) / 30
X = 1.32 kg
