So you always want to pull out the gcf first but since there isn't one, we can move on.
so we can make an acb chart which is multiplying the a value and the c value and find factors that of that product that will equal the b value.
a value is 2
c value is -15
b value is 7
-30 factors to equal 7 = 10, -3
10 - 3 = 7
so the factors 10 and -3 work.
so now you make 2 separate parenthesis with one of the factors and one x. and it should be set equal to 0.
(x+10)(x-3) = 0
now solve for x in each separate parenthesis.
x = -10
x = 3
those r the roots
hope this helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following variables:
y: hours of sleep
x: age
Each day, a young person should sleep 9 hours
This means that y is 9 added to something
plus 1 4 hour for each year that the person is under 18 years of age.
For each year the person is under 18 years of age, she should sleep 1/4 = 0.25h on top of the 9 hours.
So the equation relating hours of sleep y and age x is:

Answer:
1 in 8; or 12.5% of the time
Step-by-step explanation:
There are eight outcomes. One of eight of those outcomes is a 2.
1/8 = 0.125
