(x+6)(x+8) = 0
x = -6 or x = -8
I'm just wondering, does the equation happen to be 2x^2 + 14x + 48? That would make more sense with the answer I got.
Answer:
y=3x -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3=9+b
b= -6
Yes it is less than 4,862
So?
-756*x +x =1 ?
-755 x = 1
x= -1/755
or
what two numbers when multiplied equal -756 but when added together equal 1?
numbers are x and y
x*y= -756
x+y=1
rearrange the 2nd eq
y=1-x
substitute
x(1-x)=-756
distribute
x-x^2=-756
solve for zero
x^2-x-756=0
factor/quadratic equation
Answer:
The rate of the slower cyclist is

and that of the faster cyclist is

Step-by-step explanation:
We let x be the rate of the slower cyclist

From the question, the distance between the two towns is 253 and the time taken for the two cyclist to meet is 5 hours
so we can write the equation

We simplify to get the value for x




Hence the rate of the slower cyclist is

and that of the rate faster cyclist is
