The answer is

B. -2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation :

Given the expression

x²- 5x + 6 = 0

Firstly we need to find two numbers that when multiplied will give us the constant term 6, and when added will give us the 2nd term 5

These numbers are 3 and 2

Substituting 2x +3x for 5x

x²- (2x+3x)+ 6 = 0

x²-2x-3x+6=0

(x²-2x)-(3x+6)=0

Factoring we have

x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0

x-3=0, x-2=0

x=3, x= 2

If an original price is 1,195 and increased to 2,075 what is the percent

Ivenika [448]

$|1195 - 2075| = | - 880| = 880$
$1195 + 2075 = 3270 \div 2 = 1635$
$\frac{880}{1635} = 0.538226 \times 100$ = 53.8226% difference

Suppose that the probability that your mail is delivered before 2pm is .90. What is the probability that your mail will be deliv

Elden [556K]

1. The probability that your mail is delivered before 2 pm is 0.9, so the probability that the mail is delivered at 2 pm or after 2 pm (so not before 2 pm) is 1-0.9=0.1.

Remark: 0.9=9/10=90/100=90%, and 0.1 is 10%

2. Probability of the mail being delivered before 2 pm for 2 consecutive days is
$\frac{90}{100}* \frac{90}{100}= \frac{9}{10}* \frac{9}{10}= \frac{81}{100}=0.81$

3. take a look at the picture attached, the tree diagram is another method we could use.
