Answer:

x = −3 and x = −2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 5x = −6

Add 6 to each side

x^2 + 5x+6 = −6+6

x^2 +5x+6 =0

Factor

What 2 number multiply to 6 and add to 5

3*2 =6

3+2 =5

(x+3)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

x+3 =0 x+2 =0

x+3-3=0-3 x+2-2=0-2

x=-3 x=-2

Set up an equation to solve.

$8.50x (since it is the rate of change) + $12 (flat fee) = total money earned (or y). In this case, we have the total, amount, and are looking for x. Plug $139.50 into the equation.

$8.50x + $12 = $139.50

Now, solve for x.

$8.50x + $12-12 = $139.50-12 > $8.50x = $127.5

$8.50/8.50x = $127.5/8.50 > x = 15

So, the correct answer is D. Olivia babysat for 15 hours.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

No, because they wouldn't contain the same amount of sugar per cookie

for the first recipe - 24 cookies with 6 tablespoons

thats 6/24 so 0.25 tablespoons of sugar per cookie

for the second recipe - 36 cookies with 10 tablespoons

thats 10/36 so 0.276 tablespoons per cookie

the cookies in the second recipe would be slightly sweeter than the cookies in the first

babymother [125]

$\frac{1}{10}$ part of the whole painting is gold colored.

Solution:

Given that , In art class, Arthur has created a triangle painting $\frac{1}{5}$ of his painting is purple.

He decided he wants to Paint $\frac{4}{8}$ of the purple area gold

We have to find what fraction of the whole painting will be painting?

Now, $\frac{1}{5}$ part of whole painting is purple

And, $\frac{4}{8}$ part of the purple area is gold ⇒ $\frac{4}{8}$ part of the $\frac{1}{5}$ part of whole painting is gold

$\text { Then, fraction of gold color }=\frac{4}{8} \times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{10}$

Hence, $\frac{1}{10}$ part of the whole painting is gold colored.
