Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 17x - 60
(x - 20)(x + 3)
x^2 + 3x - 20x - 60
x^2 - 17x - 60
(x + 20) is not one of the factors
using F.O.I.L., it would have been
x^2 + 17x - 60
30 ft. tall. You must find the ratios and compare. 2/20=3/x The best way I know to do this is to cross multiply. 2 times x and 20 times 3. So, 2x= 60. Divide by 2 and you get x =30. The height of the tree would be 30 ft. You could also find the proportion. 20/2= 10, so the height,x, over 3 would be equal to 10. 3 times 10 is equal to 30.
C) 1/25 for every 1 it goes up 25. therefore 1/25! hope I helped!!! brainliest would be much appreciated because I am trying to rank up!!!
2(x-3)+9=3(x+1)+x
2x-6+9=3x+3+x
2x+3=4x+3
-2x -2x
3=2x+3
-3 -3
0=2x
x=0
