Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
Answer is D
(1.5,3)
Explanation:
Substitute
1) 3-2(1.5)=0
So 0=0
2) 3=8(1.5)-9
So 3=3
Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x=0).
the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how much y changes, when x changes for a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.
going from (7, 2) to (2, 12) :
x changes by -5 (from 7 to 2), y changes by +10 (from 2 to 12).
so, the slope is 10/-5 = -2
therefore, we have already
y = -2x + b
we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points as x and y. e.g. (7, 2)
2 = -2×7 + b = -14 + b
16 = b
so, the full line equation is
y = -2x + 16
