X² - 7x + 10 = 0
Let's factor out the equation first.
x² - 7x + 10
x -2
x -5
This factoring of (x-2)(x-5) fit the equation.
(x-2)(x-5) = 0
One of the factors must equal 0 as to equal zero.
Either x - 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The two answers are x = 2 or x = 5. Hope this helps!
I think its "Yes it can because -3.5 lies to the left of -1.5"
Wait, do you mean that y=10 is what you want in slope intercept form? Oh btw I'm not answering this just for the points. I'll actually answer the question
100% of the original number
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
remaining cups = total cups - used caps
let remaining cups be = x
total cups = y = 8
used cups = z= 
Hence x = y-z
x = 8 - 
=
-
=
=
= 
x= 
Remaining cups =
