51) 5x-1=0 and x+6=0
5x=1, x=1/5 and x=-6
2 solutions x=1/5 and x=-6
52)x(2x+3)=0
2x=0 and 2x+3 =0
x=0 and x=-3/2=-1.5
53) x(5x-1)=0
x=0 and 5x-1=0
x=0 and x=1/5
54) z(4z+7) =0
z=0 and 4z+7=0
z=0 and z= - 7/4 = -1.75
z=0 and z=-1.75
To solve these problems, you usually have a favor the numerator. For example, on #7, label your terms, 1 from m^2 is A, -6m from -6 is B and your constant, 8, is C. Next you have to find out what two numbers can be multiplied to give you for C term but can also add together to give you your B term. For this specific problem, -4 and -2 gives you 8 and also adds to be -6. After that, you put your -4 and -2 into their own separate parentheses along with the M from M^2. It should look this like: (m-4)(m-2)/(m-2). Now you notice that the binomial on the bottom and one of the binomials on top is the exact same, so you would cancel that out and your answer would be (m-4).
The two ratios are not equivalent
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
product means the sna=swer of a multiplication problem, so 9x2=18
Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
