Solve the following equation by factoring: x^2 - 2x - 48 = 0

1 answer:

Answer:

B. x=-6 or x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, factor the equation x^2-2x-48. Since -48 is negative, one of the factors has to be negative and one has to be positive. Since the coefficient of x is -2, the factors have to sum to -2. Trying factors, we realize that (x-8)(x+6)=0 works. Solving, x-8=0 and x+6=0, or x=8 or x=-6.

Answer:

$x = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line n, therefore:

$(6x + 5) + (5x - 12) = 180$ (consecutive interior angles are supplementary)

Solve for x

$6x + 5 + 5x - 12 = 180$

Add like terms

$11x - 7 = 180$

Add 7 to both sides

$11x - 7 + 7 = 180 + 7$

$11x = 187$

Divide both sides by 11

$\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{187}{11}$

$x = 17$

A car rental company charges $11 a day and 18 cents per mile to rent their cars. If the total charge for a 2-day rental was $61.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

.18m + 11d = 61.60

d = 2

.18m + 22 = 61.60

Subtract 22 from both sides

.18m = 39.60

Divide both sides by .18

m = 220
