Original equation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

How I solve by factoring is to take term a and c (as in if you were using the quadratic equation), then multiply them together. We want to find two numbers that multiply to equal the product of a x c, but add up to term b.

Term A: x^2 (1)

Term B: -4

1 x -4 = -4

Factors that have a product of -4 and add up to 3: 4, -1

Factored equation: (x + 4)(x - 1) = 0

Set each factored section equal to 0 and solve for x.

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

x  - 1 = 0

x = 1

The correct answer is D. x  = 1, -4

Hope this helps!! :)

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
777dan777 [17]

If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180

Hometown Donuts tracked how many of each type of donut were recently sold.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

4.62%

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Ask yourself: "3 is what percent of 65?" and solve.

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 65 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with <em>x</em>.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=65.

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=3.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=65(1)

x%=3(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100% / x% =65 / 3

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% / 100% =3 / 65

---> x = 4.62%

Therefore, 3 is 4.62% of 65.
