Mathematics

I'm assuming the 0s are negative signs. 

Anyway, Jenna did the correct way to solve it. Bill didn't solve the quadratic equation correctly because he didn't proceed to solving for the zeros of the equation - which Jenna did.

Answer:

Jenna is correct. Bill made mistake in his first step, he did not write the equation in general form of quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

x^2-x=12

The general form of a quadratic equation is

Ax^2+Bx+C=0

The given equation can be written as

x^2-x-12=0

x^2-4x+3x-12=0

x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0

(x-4)(x+3)=0

x=4,-3

Therefore, Jenna is correct.

Bill made mistake in his first step, he did not write the equation in general form of quadratic equation.

The two right scalene triangles shown are similar , but not congruent. Which statement about the triangles is not true
garri49 [273]

Answer: <CDB corresponds to <ECD

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles in similar triangles correspond to each other.

For two angles in similar triangles to correspond to each other, then they have to be in the same position in the triangle. (EX: a 90 degree angle corresponds to another 90 degree angle or an angle across from the shortest side corresponds to another angle in the other triangle across from the shortest side)

In this case, <CDB is to the right of the 90 degree angle, so the angle it will correspond to is the angle in the other triangle which is opposite to the 90 degree angle, which is <CED.

<CED is not <ECD, so that answer is wrong.

Tell me if I need to clarify anything - this topic is kind of hard to explain :/

Distribute $1000 into three parts so that one part will be three times as large as the second and the third part will be as larg
Over [174]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

x = part 1

3x = part 2

x + 3x  = part 3       summed, they equal 1000

x    +     3x      +   x + 3x = 1000

8x = 1000

<u>x = 125       3x = 385      third part = 500 </u>

Matt decided to go out to eat. He ordered a soda for $2.15, some chicken for $8.77 and a slice of cake for $4.10. What would his
nikklg [1K]

Answer:  $ 17.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of soda = $2.15 , Cost of chicken = $8.77 , Cost of slice of cake = $4.10.

Total bill amount = (Cost of soda ) + (Cost of chicken) +(Cost of slice of cake)

= $ (2.15 + 8.77 +4.10)

= $ 15.02

Tip amount = 18% of Total bill amount

= 0.18 (15.02)

= $ 2.7036 ≈  $2.70

Entire bill = Total bill amount  + Tip amount

= $ ( 15.02+2.70)

= $ 17.72

Hence, entire bill = $ 17.72
