Your answer is y = -1/2 and y = 2
To solve this quadratic we first need to subtract 2 from both sides to set it equal to 0, which gives us 2y² - 3y - 2 = 0
Then we just need to factorise it:
2y² - 3y - 2 = 0
(2y + 1)(y - 2) = 0
Now we can set each bracket equal to 0 and solve for y:
2y + 1 = 0
2y = -1
y = -1/2
y - 2 = 0
y = 2

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C) 1.6." Hank is painting his grandfather's fence. He painted 40 linear feet in 85 minutes. He still has 360 linear feet to paint. His cousins, Sam and Alex, come <span>to help. Sam paints twice as fast and Alex paints half as fast as Hank. The constant of proportionality that relates the current fence painting rate is 1.6.</span>
Subtract 3000 from 24600. That gives you 21600.
Divide this number by 300
21600 / 300 = 72 payments.

Answer:
1. x = 67.5
2. x = 2.5
3. x = 35.2
4. x = 2.0
5. x = 17.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
The proportion is set up in the form x/9 = 15/2. Multiply both sides by two to get rid of the two in the denominator on the right side. After doing so, multiply by 9 on both sides to get rid of the 9 in the denominator on the left:
2x/9 = 15
2x = 9(15)
Next solve for x:
2x = 135
x = 67.5
Question 2
The proportion is set up in the form 20/8.7 = 5.8/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 8.7. This will leave you with the work below:
20x/8.7 = 5.8
20x = 8.7(5.8)
Next, solve for x:
20x = 50.46
x = 2.523
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 2.5
Question 3
The proportion is set up in the form 5/16 = 11/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 16. This will leave you with the work below:
5x/16 = 11
5x = 11(16)
Next, solve for x:
5x = 176
x = 35.2
Question 4
The proportion is set up in the form x/0.06 = 17/0.5. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 0.5, and then both sides by the first, 0.06. This will leave you with the work below:
0.5x/0.06 = 17
0.5x = 17(0.06)
Next, solve for x:
0.5x = 1.02
x = 2.04
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 2.0
Question 5
The proportion is set up in the form 29/x = 75/44. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 44, and then both sides by the first, x. This will leave you with the work below:
29(44)/x = 75
29(44) = 75x
Next, solve for x:
1276 = 75x
x = 17.0133
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 17.0
