Answer:

y= -69/8 (negative 69 over 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to simplify both sides of the equation:

$-2/3y+ -3/4 =5$

Second, add 3/4 to both sides:

-2/3y +-3/4 + 3/4=5 +3/4

-2/3y= 23/4

Next, multiply both sides by 3/(-2) (3 over -2)

(3/-2)*(-2/3y)= (3/-2) * (23/4)

y= -69/8

Determine the factors of x2 − 7x − 10. (5 points) a (x + 2)(x − 5) b Prime c (x − 2)(x + 5) d (x + 10)(x − 1)

Savatey [412]

For this case we must factor the following expression:

$x ^ 2-7x-10$

To factor, we must find two numbers that when added together give -7 and when multiplied by -10.

It is observed that there are not two whole numbers that comply with the aforementioned.

Thus, the following equation applies:

$x = \frac {-b \pm\sqrt{b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = -7\\c = -10$

We replace:

$x = \frac {- (- 7) \pm \sqrt {(- 7) ^ 2-4 (1) (- 10)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 40}} {2}\\x = \frac {7 \sqrt {89}} {2}$

So, the roots are:

$x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}$

Answer:

$x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}$
