Fraction is 7/27 or 0.259
Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x
x² = x * x
6 = 3 * 2
(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.
To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)
x = -3
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2
x = -3, -2
hope this helps
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 150 from both sides
-5r ≥ -62.5
Divide both sides by -5
r ≤ 12.5
(The greater than sign flips around when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number)
$27 x 18 students = 486 actual cost.
$30 x 10 students = 300 estimated total cost using compatible numbers.
$20 x 20 students = 400 estimated total cost using compatible numbers. (better option because it is nearer to the actual cost)
Compatible numbers are numbers that can easily be multiplied or divided using mental computation.
Compatible number for 27 and 18 can be: 30 and 20 OR 20 and 20 OR 30 and 10 OR 20 and 10.
However, there is a rule in multiplying the compatible numbers, when one number is increased the other number must be decreased.
So 27 can be increased to 30; while 18 can be decreased to 10 to get a product of 300.
27 can be decreased to 20; while 18 can be increased to 20 to get a product of 400.
