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!! :)

1.Phone company A charges $20 a month and $0.10 per minute of phone calls. Phone Company B charges
Shtirlitz [24]

I might be wrong but I think it's 50 minutes.

$0.10 x 50min = $5

$20 + $5 = $25

$0.20 x 50min = $10

$15 + $10 = $25

So, it's 50 minutes.

If Isaac uses a coupon entitling him to a 25% discount off the purchase price before tax, how much will his bill be? Assume that
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

b) 25/100 x 79

= 19.75

= 79 - 19.75

= $59.25 (before tax)

7/100 x 59.25

= 414.75/100

= 4.15

= 59.25 + 4.15

= $63.4 (after adding tax)

First we have to take out the percentage of discount and minus it from the total cost . To find the discounted price with tax, we have to take out the percentage of the tax from the discounted amount and add it to the discounted amount to get the total cost.

(NEED DONE SOON) The measure of two supplementary angles are 4x - 24 and 4(2x - 3). <br> What is x
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of supplementary angles added together MUST equal 180. Therefore, as you are given two angles with the measures of (4x - 24) and 4(2x - 3), they must add together to equal 180. So, we get this equation:

(4x - 24) + 4(2x - 3) = 180

4x - 24 + 8x - 12 = 180 (we distributed 4(2x-3))

12x - 36 = 180

12x = 144

x = 12, -12

Therefore, x is 12 because -12 would mean that (4x-24) and 4(2x-3) are both negative, which is impossible for an angle measure.
