(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.

Hope this helps!

Find the value of 40% of 1KM (in m)​
labwork [276]

40% of 1 km in meters is 400 meters

<h3>What is percentage :</h3>

Percentage simply means per 100. Percentage can be express as decimal or fraction.

For example 25% of 80 can be found as follows:

  • 25 / 100 × 80 = 2000 / 100 = 20

From the example, 25% of 80 is 20 .

Therefore, 40% of 1 km(m) can be found as follows:

Let's convert km to metres.

1000m = 1km

40% of 1000

40 / 100 × 1000 = 40000 / 100 = 400metres

Therefore, 40% of 1 km in meters is 400 meters
