Factor complete m2+m-20

Mathematics

Hi there!
I'm going to assume you mean m^2 + m - 20.
The factor of this is (m + 5)(m - 4)
And I found this by finding what two numbers add to 1 and multiply to -20, which is 5 and -4.

Now if you FOIL this, (First, outer, inner, last terms) you should come to the initial equation.
(m + 5) * (m-4)
m * m = m^2
5 * m = 5m
m * -4 = -4m
5 * -4 = -20
So, in combining like terms, you'd get m^2 + 1m -20.

Answer:

0.200

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    6*x-4-(-4*x-2)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP 1

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  10x - 2  =   2 • (5x - 1)

STEP 2

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2      Solve  :    5x-1 = 0

Add  1  to both sides of the equation :

                     5x = 1

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

                    x = 1/5 = 0.200

solution:

x = 1/5 = 0.200

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Approximately 104 joggers are female

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S census bureau reported that 9 out of every 20 joggers at female.

Let x be the number of females out of 230 joggers.

Rewrite it as

\begin{array}{cc}\text{Female}&\text{All joggers}\\9&20\\x&230\end{array}

Now we can write a proportion:

\dfrac{9}{x}=\dfrac{20}{230}

Cross multiply:

20x=9\cdot 230\\ \\2x=9\cdot 23\ [\text{Divided by 10}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{9\cdot 23}{2}=\dfrac{207}{2}=103.5\approx 104
