(x + 2)(x - 4)
= x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8
= x^2 - 2x - 8
Answer:
2(x-5)(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 − 2x − 40
Factor out a 2
2(x^2 -x -20)
What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -1
-5*4 = -20
-5+4 = -1
2(x-5)(x+4)
Answer:the number of children tickets that were sold is 30.
the number of adult tickets that were sold is 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
The movie theater sells a total of 100 tickets. This means that
x + y = 100
The theater charges $6 per child's ticket and $10 per adult's ticket. The movie theater made a total of $880. It means that
6x + 10y = 880 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 2, it becomes
6(100 - y) + 10y = 880
600 - 6y + 10y = 880
- 6y + 10y = 880 - 600
4y = 280
y = 280/4 = 70
x = 100 - y = 100 - 70
x = 30
Just take the horse to the old town road
Given : 2D + 1L = 100,
And D + L = 70
This is a simultaneous equation can be solved as follows
2D + L = 100
- D - L = -70
————————————-
D - 0 = 30
i.e D (number of dudes) = 30
Therefore, since we already know the fraternity sold 70 tickets in total,
70 -30 = 40 (the number of ladies attended)
