F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)
f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4
Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.
Answer:
b.
( -3, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 13 = 2x + 1
6x -2x = 1-13
4x = -12
x = -12/4 = -3
y = 6x + 13
y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5
(x, y) = (-3,-5)
Answer: 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, make both equations equal to each other
2x+10 = 3x-15
To isolate x, do the inverse operations (for any side chosen)
Do the inverse operations to move -15 and isolate 3x
Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25)
You now have 2x+25=3x
Now, do the same to combine the x values together
25=3x-2x
You now have 25=1x
Divide by 1 on both sides
25=x
Stop copying the question, it's confusing
so 100 cookies and 20 brownies
what is the greatest number you can divide them both by?
find the GCF
factor them
100=2*2*5*5
20=2*2*5
so the GCF is the common group to both or 2*2*5 or 20
100/20=5
20/20=1
there are 20 groups, each wit 5 cookies and 1 brownie
20 groups
