What are the roots of the equation x2 - 5x + 6 = 0?

Mathematics

Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

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

<h3>Answer: 48</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

Triangle ABC is isosceles because AC = BC.

The angles opposite these congruent sides are angle ABC and angle BAC. These are the base angles.

For any isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.

Angle BAC = 69 degrees is given. So angle ABC = 69 as well.

-------------------

The missing angle must add to the two other angles so that all three angles in a triangle add to 180

(angle ABC) + (angle BAC) + (angle BCA) = 180

69 + 69 + (angle BCA) = 180

138 + (angle BCA) = 180

angle BCA = 180-138

angle BCA = 42

-------------------

Angle DCE is congruent to angle BCA because they are vertical angles.

Triangle DCE is a right triangle. The missing angle is 90-(angle BCA) = 90-42 = 48

angle EDC = 48 degrees

100 points!!!<br><br> Multi-Step Equations with Distributive Property
ad-work [718]

Answer:

An example below

Step-by-step explanation:

5(4a + 7(a + 2b))

First simply the inside bracket using distributive property:

7(a + 2b)

7(a) + 7(2b)

7a + 14b

5(4a + 7a + 14b)

5(11a + 14b)

Use distributive property again

5(11a) + 5(14b)

55a + 70b
