Answer:

The given proportion is

  \frac{14}{x}=\frac{56}{16}\\\\14 \times 16=56\times x\\\\x=\frac{14 \times 16}{56}\\\\x=\frac{16}{4}\\\\x=4

Substitute , x=4 in the equation

 \frac{14}{4}=\frac{56}{16}\\\\56 \times 4=14 \times 16\\\\224=224

Option D

Because if you substitute 4 into the equation for x and cross multiply, you get 224 = 224.

A theater seats 2,816 people. The first row has 26 seats while the last row has 150 seats. Assuming the number of seats per row
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The theater has 32 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where

  • a is the first term
  • l is the last term
  • n is the number of the terms

∵ The number of seats per row follows an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first row has 26 seats

∴ a = 26

∵ The last row has 150 seats

∴ l = 150

∵ The theater seats are 2,816

∴ S_{n} = 2,816

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the sum above to find n

∵ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(26 + 150)

∴ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(176)

∴ 2,816 = 88n

→ Divide both sides by 88

∴ 32 = n

∵ n represents the number of the rows

∴ The theater has 32 rows

Solve for x. x2 + x - 6 = 0 A. -2, -3 B. -2, 3 C. 2, -3 D. 2, 3
stiv31 [10]

Factor x^2 + x - 6

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

Solve for x

Ask yourself; When will (x - 2)(x + 3) equal zero?

When x - 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Then solve for each of the two equations above

<em>x = 2, -3</em>

<u>Answer: C. 2, -3</u>

State the value of the discriminant for <br><br>y = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5x%5E2%2B9x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="5x^
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

141, meaning that there will be two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is b^2-4ac, which in this case is:

9^2-4(5)(-3)=81+60=141

Since the discriminant is positive and not zero, there will be two real solutions to this equation. This is because when the discriminant is negative, and you take the square root of it, you get a negative number. If you take the square root of 0, you get 0, which means that there will only be one solution to the equation.

Hope this helps!
