Answer:
The simples interest rate needed is 12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation is in the attachments.
Hope this helps! :)
4x + y = 5
3x + y = 8
y = -3x + 8
4x +(-3x + 8) = 5
4x -3x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
y = -3(-3) + 8
y = -9 + 8
y = -1
Let the Addison's candy count be a and Ronny's be r.
Then a = r - 15. This is an equation.
If you had a second equation, you could replace a with the expression (r - 15), which in itself is not an equation.
Answer:
x = - 2 or x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² - 9x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
Divide all terms by 3
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 10) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)
The factors are - 5 and + 2, since
- 5 × 2 = - 10 and - 5 + 2 = - 3, thus
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
I’m doing this too hopefully someone answers quick cause I’m confused also.
