The solution to the quadratic equation given by:
6x^2+2x-20=0
will be:
6x^2+2x-20=0
factoring the above we get:
6x^2+12x-10x-20=0
6x(x+2)-10(x+2)=0
(6x-10)(x+2)=0
hence:
6x=10
x=10/6=5/3
or
x+2=0
x=-2
Thus the answer is:
x=5/3
x=-2

Answer:

x=-2, x=\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2 + 2x - 20 = 0

In the given equation all terms are divisible by 2.

3x^2 + x - 10 = 0

Product is 3 times -10 = -30 and sum is 1

-5 times 6 is -30

-5+6 is 1, factors are -5 and 6

Break the middle term using the factors

3x^2-5x+6x - 10 = 0

Group first two terms and last two terms

(3x^2-5x)+(6x - 10) = 0

Factor out GCF from each group

x(3x-5)+2(3x - 5) = 0

Factor out 3x-5

(x+2)(3x-5)= 0

Set each factor =0 and solve for x

x+2=0 , x=-2

3x-5=0, 3x=5

x=\frac{5}{3}

Twice the difference of a number and six is the same as twelve . Write into algebraic equation
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

2(n-6)=12

(I went too far in my explanation; I'm not going to erase it because I think it is important to have an example on solving these)

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice the difference of a number and 6 is the same as 12.

Twice means 2 times

Difference means the result of subtracting something.

is the same as means equal to (=).

So we are given 2(n-6)=12.

You can start by dividing 2 on both sides are distributing 2 to terms in the ( ).

I will do it both ways and you can pick your favorite.

2(n-6)=12

Divide both sides by 2.

 n-6  =6

Add 6 on both sides

 n     =12

OR!

2(n-6)=12

Distribute 2 to both terms in the ( )

2n-12=12

Add 12 on both sides

2n    =24

Divide both sides by 2

n       =12

Consider the statement "2 is a factor of n2 + 3n."
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The answer is the last one:

4 , 10 , 18 , (k + 1)² + 3(k + 1) and k² + 5k + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 2 is a factor of n² + 3n

∵ n = 1 ⇒ ∴ (1)² + 3(1) = 1 + 3 = 4 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 4

∵ n = 2 ⇒ ∴ (2)² + 3(2) = 4 + 6 = 10 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 10

∵ n = 3 ⇒ ∴ (3)² + 3(3) = 9 + 9 = 18 ⇒ 2 is a factor of 18

∵ n = k + 1 ⇒ ∴ (k + 1)² + 3(k + 1) ⇒ before the simplify

∵ n = k + 1 ⇒ ∴ k² + 2k + 1 + 3k + 3 = k² + 5k + 4 ⇒ after simplify
