You could just factor out the Trinomial and find the zeros of the equation,

x^2 - 2x -15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0,

x - 5 = 0 and x + 3 = 0, so x = 5,-3 AKA answer choice C

12z-7z-2=13 solve for z
devlian [24]

Answer: z = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>z</em>, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation. Since 12 and 7 both have <em>z</em> after their coefficient, we can subtract 12z - 7z to get 5z.

Now we have 5z - 2 = 13.

To solve from here, we add 2 to the left side of the equation in order to isolate 5z. If we add 2 to the left side, we must also add 2 to the right side. On the left side, the -2 and +2 cancel out. On the right, 13 + 2 simplifies to 15.

Now we have 5z = 15.

Solving from here, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get <em>z</em> alone. On the left side, the 5's cancel out and we are simply left with <em>z</em>. On the right side, 15 divided by 5 simplifies to 3 so we have z = 3.

Alaina measured a boarding school and made a scale drawing. The scale of the drawing was 1 millimeter = 7 meters. In the drawing
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The length of the actual building is 112 meters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key words we need to know are these : scale is 1 millimeter = 7 meters, and 16 millimeters long.

The question is asking for the building's actual height.

To solve this, we need to set up a ratio, have the scale being one ratio and the other 16 millimeters over blank. It's going to look like this :

\frac{1 mm}{7 m}= \frac{16 mm}{x}

We need to make sure all the units are lined up - the mm parts of the ratio are next to each other.

Now that we have our ratio set up we can cross product to solve for x.

1(x) = 16(7)

x = 112

So x is 112, or the length of the actual building is 112 meters long.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest if possible. Have a nice day. :)
