Expand the left side
2x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5) = 2x² - mx - 5
2x² + 10x - x - 5 = 2x² - mx - 5
2x² + 9x - 5 = 2x² - mx - 5
cancel 2x² and -5
9x = - mx

m = -9
sorry i was wrong, my mistake hehe

Sam practices his guitar for 9 hours each week he practices each song for 3 1/2 hours. What is the greatest number of song he ca

liberstina [14]

Answer:

<em>The greatest number of song he can practice in a week is 2.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the greatest number of song he can practice in a week is $x$

He practices each song for $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours. So, the total time required for practicing $x$ number of songs $= (3\frac{1}{2}*x)$ hours.

Given that, he practices his guitar for 9 hours each week.

So, the equation will be......

$3\frac{1}{2}*x= 9\\ \\ x= 9\div 3\frac{1}{2}\\ \\ x=9\div \frac{7}{2}=9 \times \frac{2}{7}=\frac{18}{7}= 2.571.... \approx 2$

<em>(Rounded as the greatest whole number)</em>

Thus, the greatest number of song he can practice in a week is 2.
