Answer:
x1= -4
x2 = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the equation equal to zero
x2 − 16 = 0
then
(x + 4)(x − 4) = 0
(x+4)= 0 which is equal to -4
and
(x-4)= 0 equals 4
Answer:
The Jason's company charges more than the contractor's company.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two expressions given for total charges for two companies as 81 x+108 and 103 x+64.
Here x represents number of hours.
We are asked to find difference in total charges if that takes 45 minutes.
45 minutes =
hours.
Plug in this value for x.
81x+108 =
Simplify it
60.75 +108 =168.75
Now, for 103x+64 =
Simplify it,
77.25+64=141.25
If we see the total charge for both companies for 45 minutes, the Jason's business computers charges more than contractor's company.
Answer:
A) But if anyone thinks this they should go back to preschool
Step-by-step explanation:
On any other value of x you would take the numerators and denominators and multiply them across:

But, this literally does not make since considering the fact that you cannot divide any value by zero. Try it, it won't work. If we plug these into a trusty dusty calculator, we get this:

0*DOMAINERROR= You can't do it.
There are other reasons why you can't divide by zero, I would suggest looking them up on YT and learning about them.
I would answer A, but the person who wrote this question just wasn't focusing when they wrote the question.
D = rt. The first car's rate is r, and the other one, going faster, is r + 12. The time they travel is 2 hours. Since one is going faster than the other, he has gotten farther. But, regardless of that, the distance between them is 232. So the distance the first one travels, r*t, which 2r, plus the distance the second one travels, 2(r+12) = 232. 2r + 2r + 24 = 232. Solve for r. 4r = 208 and r = 52. The slower one goes 52 and the faster one goes 64
so x=5
substituting for x in the equation we get:

Ans C: 16
