Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the left side

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 15 = - 30 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 10 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 10x - 3x - 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5) from each term

(x + 5)(2x - 3) ← in factored form

Math help please thanks

For most of these questions, all you would have to do is add the angles together and or subtract the larger angle from the smaller one to find the other angle. So in the first case.

You would add the angles, 26 degrees and 60 degrees to find the angle KLM which is about 90 degrees a right angle, in this case it would be 86 degrees.

Similarly, for the other question, take the larger angle, 145 degrees and subtract 61 degrees to solve for the angle that will also add to give 145 degrees,in this case it would be 84 degrees.

What is 2x-3=4(x-5)? And also what is 2x squared=50?

Ierofanga [76]

2x - 3 = 4(x - 5)
2x - 3 = 4x - 20
4x - 2x = 20 - 3
2x = 17
x = 8 1/2

2x² = 50
x² = 25
x = $\pm$ √25
x = $\pm$ 5

Find the percent of decrease from 280 to 210. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Vlada [557]

To find the decreased percentage,here's what we can do:
$\frac{originl \: value - new \: value}{originl \: value} \times 100\%$

In this case,the eqaution would be:
$\frac{280 - 210}{280} \times 100\% \\ = \frac{70}{280} \times 100\% \\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% \\ = 25\%$
Hope it helps!
