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.

Two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number. What numbers are in the solution se
Soloha48 [4]
Let us say, the number is "a"

one less than "a" is ... well a - 1
2/5 of that will be... well, 2/5 * ( a - 1)

one more than "a" is... well a + 1
3/5 of that is.. hmmm 3/5 * (a + 1)

now, we're told that, the first expression is "less than" the second one, thus

\bf \cfrac{2}{5}(a-1)\ \textless \ \cfrac{3}{5}(a+1)

solve for "a", or make it "x" if you wish, same thing anyway

Y=3x+4 , 9x-3y=-6 do the lines intersect or are they parallel or are they perpendicular
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Lines are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given lines are y=3x+4,\ 9x-3y=6

Rearrange the equation in the slope intercept form that is y=mx+b where m is the slope.

<em>First Line:</em>

y=3x+4

compare it with y=mx+b

slope (m_{1}) of first line =3

<em>Second Line:</em>

9x-3y=6\\9x-6=3y\\3y=9x-6

divide both by 3

y=3x-3

compare it with y=mx+b

slope (m_{2}) of second line =3

Since slope of two lines are equal

m_{1}=m_{2}=3

hence these lines are parallel.
