Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.

What is the value of x (x+2)(x-3)=0
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = 3 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = -2
