Answer:
x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3 thus 0 is the smallest root
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x (x - 5) (x - 2) (x + 3) = 0
Split into four equations:
x - 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Add 5 to both sides:
x = 5 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides:
Answer: x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3
Answer:
Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x is the amount Harry earns
y is the amount Hamish earns
x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1
x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7
(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7
(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5
28x-28 = 25x+50
28x-25x = 50+28
3x = 78
x = 26
substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5
y = (x-1)*4/5
y = (26-1)*4/5
y = 20
the answer is
<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns $20 an hour</h3>
The slope intercept IS y=2/5x+7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
15% = 15/100= 0.15
45% = 45/100 = o.45
Remaining students: 40% = 40/100 = 0.4%
