A+b=15----(1)
a*b=54----(2)
(1) a=15-b ----(3)
put(3) in(2)
(15-b)*b=54
15b-b^2=54
b^2-15b+54=0
(b-9)(b-6)=0
so b=9 or b=6
if b=9 then a=15-9=6
if b=6 then a=15-6=9
answer two numbers are 6 and 9
The textbook is $150 originally, so to find the price of the textbook on sale, multiply the original price by 12% (0.12). Then subtract 12% of 150 from 150.
Subtract 18 from 150.
Multiply the price of the textbook on sale by the sales tax of 8.25% (0.0825). Then add the tax price onto the sale price of the textbook.
Add 10.89 to 132.
The final price of the textbook is $142.89.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring will reveal the solution. So we divide the equation by the greatest common factor of the terms and use that factor as the coefficient. In this case the greatest common factor is just x.
2x^2+5x
x(2x+5) so the equation will equal zero when either of those expressions is zero because zero times anything is zero. x=0 and x=-5/2
