<span>We write the equation in the standard form which is:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(x + 15)(x) = 100
x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0
(x + 20) (x-5) = 0

The solutions are

x = -20 and x = 5

Therefore, the correct answer is option B. </span><span>The solution x = 5 should be kept, but x = –20 is unreasonable.</span><span>

(x+15) x = 100
x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0
x^2 + 20x - 5x - 100 = 0
x (x + 20) - 5 (x + 20) = 0
(x - 5) (x + 20) = 0

x = 5 or x = -20
 x = 5 is the answer since -20 is not reasonable.

Marks's dad drove 123 miles in 2 hours. At that rate, how many miles would he drive in 5 hours?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

307.5

Step-by-step explanation:

He drove 123 miles in 2 hours. If you go 100 miles in 2 hours that means you went 50 miles in one hour right? Using the same logic we can convert 123 miles in 2 hours to 61.5 miles per hour and then multiply it by 5.

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is less than or equal to 33. Write an inequality and solve to determine the maximum val
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If first odd number is x

THen next consecutive odd number is x + 2

Next one is x + 4

Now, we can write the word problem as:

x+x+2+x+4 \leq 33

Now we solve:

x+x+2+x+4 \leq 33\\3x+6 \leq 33\\3x \leq 27\\x \leq 9

So, x is less than or equal to 9, so it can be

9, 7, 5 .....

What is the maximum value of the lowest number (x)?? It is 9
