Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.5(3x + 5) and -1.5x + 2.5

-0.5(3x + 5)...distribute the -0.5 thru the parenthesis

-1.5x - 2.5

no, these are not equivalent.... one is -1.5x + 2.5 and the other is -1.5x - 2.5....not the same

A manufacturer of rubber balls estimates that 3 out of 500 balls produced are defective. The manufacturer produces 100,000 balls

bearhunter [10]

All we have to do here is divide 100,000 by 500 then multiply the quotient by 3 then finally, subtract that from 100,000

$100000 \div 500 = 200$
$200 \times 3 = 6 00$
$100000 - 600 = 99400$

$there \: are \: 99400\: non \: defective \: balls \: produced \: each \: week$
