Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+19x+40=-2

2x^2+19x+40+2=0

2x^2+19x+42=0

2x^2+(12+7)x+42=0

2x^2+12x+7x+42=0

2x(x+6)+7(x+6)=0

(x+6)(2x+7)=0

x+6=0

x=-6

or,

2x+7=0

2x=-7

x=-7/2

x=-3.5

A rope is 250 centimeters long. You need the rope to be 1 1/2 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?

Drupady [299]

If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:

250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter

The correct result would be 100 centimeters.
