Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 2 and 10
Discussion:
Approach 1:
20 = (-10)*(-2) and (-10) + (-2) = -12 the coefficients of the polynomial. Hence
x^2 -12x + 20 = ( x- 2) * ( x-10)
Approach 2:
From the quadratic formula ( a = 1, b = -12, c = 20)
x = ( -(-12) +\- sqrt( ((-12)^2 - 4*1*20) ) / (2 * 1)
= ( 12 +\- sqrt( 144-80) ) /2
= (12 +\- sqrt(64) ) /2
= (12 +\- 8 ) /2
x = ( 12 + 8) /2 = 20/2 = 10
or
x = ( 12 - 8)/ 2 = 4/2 = 2
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a equation-
4/5=120/x
x= people buying peanut butter.
120/4=30
30 x 5=150
<h2><u><em>
This would be the SSS theorem.</em></u></h2>
The reason would be because the diagram shows already that the two sides are congruent to the other two sides. The line in the middle is congruent to itself. (Reflexive Property) Because we now have three congruent sides, we can say that the SSS theorem proves the two triangles congruent
