Answer: The company currently has 17 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of current employees in the company

From the first information, it can be expressed mathematically as

X + 3 ≥ 20

X ≥ 20 - 3

X ≥ 17

From the second information, it can be expressed mathematically as

X - 3 < 15

X < 15 + 3

X < 18

From the above solutions, it can be deduced that

17 ≤ X < 18

The only number that fulfils this criteria is 17.

Therefore, X = 17

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x(x-2)=0$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=0\:or\:x-2=0$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=0\:or\:x=2$

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x^2+5x+25/2=0

Multiply each side by 2 to clear the fractions

2*(1/2x^2+5x+25/2)=0*2

Distribute

x^2+10x+25=0

What two numbers multiply together to give us 25 and add together to give us 10

5*5 = 25

5+5 =10

(x+5) (x+5) =0

Using the zero product property

x+5 =0 x+5 = 0

x+5-5= 0-5 x+5-5 =0-5

x=-5 x=-5

x=-5
