Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.

How many ways are there to select 12 countries in the United Nations to serve on a council if 3 are selected from a block of 45,

sattari [20]

Answer: There are 2346953264 ways to do so.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of selected countries = 12

Number of selected countries from a block of 45 = 3

Number of selected countries from a block of 57 = 4

So, remaining number of selected countries from a block of 69.

So, 12-(3+4)=12-7=5

Now, we need to find the number of ways, so we will use "Combination" to select that number of countries.

So, it becomes.

$^{45}C_3\times ^{57}C_4\times ^{57}C_5\\\\=14190\times 395010\times 4187106\\\\=2346953264$

Hence, there are 2346953264 ways to do so.
