Solve x^2 +5x - 14 = 0

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x - 14 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 7 and - 2, since

7 × - 2 = - 14 and 7 - 2 = + 5 , thus

(x + 7)x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Well i think that if there is 25 ball there is more likely to be odd cause there is not 26 balls to make even and odds have the same amount of odd and even balls so there is one more odd than there is even

If x = 2 calculate the value of x squared- x

monitta

Plug the x value which is 2 back to the x and solve.

I gave you two answers because I wasn’t sure if the question was (x^2) - 2 or x^2-2.
Those two functions look similar but is totally different so keep that in mind.

Hope you have a victorious day!

To make a specific hair dye, a hair stylist uses a ratio of 1 1/8 oz of red tone, 3/4 oz of gray

nadezda [96]

Answer:

We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:

1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20

2 1/2x = 20

x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
