Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x − 8 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4*-2 = -8

4-2 = 2

(x+4) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0 x-2=0

x+4-4 =0-4 x-2+2=0+2

x = -4 x=2

We want the sum of the solutions

-4+2 = -2

grin007 [14]

Answer:

d(x) = 175 - |175 - 25x|

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose I plan to ride your bicycle from Portland Oregon to Seattle Washington and back to Portland.

Portland and Seattle are 175 miles apart. I plan to travel 25 miles every day.

If we consider the starting point i.e. Portland as the zero distance i.e. reference, then we can model the distance from Portland d(x) as

d(x) = 175 - |175 - 25x|

where x is the number of days into the ride. (Answer)

What is 3/4 + 1/2 and what is 1/3 + 11/48 in simplest form and a mixed number <br>

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1) 5/4 or 1 1/4

2) 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4+1/2: you multiply 1/2 by 2 to get a common denominator then get 2/4, 3+2=5, 5/4 or 1 1/4

1/3+11/48: you multiply 1/3 by 16 to get common denominator & get 16/48, 16+11= 27/48, divide by 3 & get simplest form of 9/16

Given:

$m\angle L=m\angle Z=70^\circ$

$m\angle N=m\angle Y=90^\circ$

To find:

The value of $m\angle 1$ .

Solution:

In triangle XYZ,

$m\angle Y=m\angle N=90^\circ$ (Given)

$m\angle Z=m\angle L=70^\circ$ (Given)

$m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property]

$m\angle 1+90^\circ+70^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle 1+160^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle 1=180^\circ-160^\circ$

$m\angle 1=20^\circ$

Therefore, the $m\angle 1$ is 20°.
