nignag [31]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x² - x - 20 = 0</em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>5</em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4x </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>(</em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x+</em><em> </em><em>4)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>Either</em><em>. </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>Or, </em>

<em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>4</em>

Three fifths of the children in a school are boys. 7/8 of the girls in the school are right-handed. What fraction of the childre
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

To find the answer we only need to know,

Total no.of girls and Total no.of right handed girls.

So,

Total no.of right handed girls = 7/8

Total no.of girls                        = 8/8 (as given in question)

Total no.of left handed girls is,

(Fraction of total no.of girls) - (Fraction of total no.of left handed girls)

= 8/8 - 7/8

= 1/8

∴ 1/8 of the girls in the school are left handed.

How many 4-digit odd numbers can you make using the digits 1 to 7 if the numbers must be less than 6000? No digits are repeated.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:he first digit must be a 6, 7, or 8, because the number has to be bigger than 6,000.

The last digit must be a 1, 3, 5, or 7, because the number has to be odd.

So if the first digit is 6 or 8, there are 4 odd-number options for the last digit. If the first digit is a 7, then there are only 3 options for the last digit, as 7 can’t be used twice.

The other two digits can be anything that’s not already used. So for each first-and-last combination of digits mentioned above, there will be six options available for one of the middle digits, and then for each of those 3-digit combinations, five options will be available for the final remaining digit.

At this point, we have everything we need to express this as an equation:

x = (2 x 4 + 1 x 3) x 6 x 5

And then we can simplify and solve:

x = (8 + 3) x 30

x = 11 x 30

x = 330
