Answer:

x = -2

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1 :</u><u> Rearrange</u>

x² + 12x + 20 = 0

<u>Step 2:</u><u> Factorise</u>

(x + 2)(x + 10)

<u>Step 3:</u><u> Find the roots / values of x</u>

Make each bracket equal zero.

(x + 2) = x = -2

(x + 10) = x = -10

Julli [10]

A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms. A cup holds 8 worms. How many times
Anettt [7]

Answer:

9 times. 72/8=t or 72=8t.

Explanation:

I'm afraid the answer choices are slightly mixed up, but acceptable answers would probably include 72/8=t or 72=8t. Simply put the two numbers into a fraction (72/8) to get how many times larger or smaller the thing is. In this case, it would be 9 times as many worms.

Maru [420]

Yes; his answer is correct.

John can do this by multiple ways, but most likely he just remembered this one. Here are some ways.

1. He used his fingers; he put 1 finger, then another finger, and got 2 fingers up. The answer is 2.

2. He remembered it; usually Kindergarteners learn this and this is very easy to remember.

3. He used the things around him; I have 1 crayon then add another, how many do I have? 2.
