Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 4 and x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 9 and + 4, since
- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus
(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
B. Decreases
(Hopefully I’m right!)
Answer: 56 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 60+58+64+72=254 (Add the average of his family without including him)
a. 62x5=310 (The average times 5, cause there are 5 of them will get you the total number of inches)
b. 310-254=56 (Subtract the total number of the 5 of them with the 4 of them to find Bill's height)
you can check your answer by adding all their heights.
