Answer:
7, -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 6x + 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
==> x = 7, x = -1
Answer:
x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
- Add 1.2x on both sides: 4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
- Add 4.8 on both sides: 9.6 = 4.8x
- Divide 4.8 on both sides: 2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 2
Answer: 2 buses and 4 vans would be needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of buses that would be needed.
Let y represent the number of vans that would be needed.
There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. This means that
x + y = 6
142 students are going on a field trip. A bus can hold 51 people while a van can hold 10. This means that
51x + 10y = 142 - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes
51(6 - y) + 10y = 142
306 - 51y + 10y = 142
- 51y + 10y = 142 - 306
- 41y = - 164
y = - 164/ - 41
y = 4
x = 6 - y = 6 - 4
x = 2
Answer:
Parallel - 8
Perpendicular - -1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is parallel to another then they have the same slope
If a line is perpendicular to another line then the slope is just flipped and so is the sign
