For the equation x2 + 2x − 8 = 0, what is the sum of the solutions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
5 0

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

Jorge has saved $15.50. Janet saved 1/5 of the amount that Jorge saved. Rob saved 12 times as much of Janet. What is the total s
KiRa [710]

Answer:

$55.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much Janet saved by finding 1/5 of 15.50:

15.50/5

= 3.1

Find how much Rob saved by multiplying 3.1 by 12:

3.1(12)

= 37.2

Then, find the total saved amount by adding them all together:

15.50 + 3.1 + 37.2

= 55.8

So, they saved $55.80 in total
