Using factorization method;
x²+13x+40=0
x²+13+40
Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).
The two numbers are +5 and +8
The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40
You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)
x(x+5)+8(x+5)
(x+8)(x+5)
x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)
x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)
x= -8 or x= -5
X+2x+3x+4x=9x. x is a variable that represents the number of points he won so far
Answer:
A is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
because the sequence is the 4 and 4
-7 + 4= -3
-3 + 4= 1
1 + 4= 5
Answer:
Bianca's height = 42 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the Bianca height.
Given:
Meredith height = 60 inches
We need to find the Bianca height.
Solution:
From the given statement the Meredith's height is 
of Bianca's height plus 32 inches, so the equation is.
Meredith's height = 
Substitute Meredith's height in above equation.
Now we solve the above equation for x.
By cross multiplication.
28 divided by 2.
Therefore, the height of the Bianca is 42 inches.
Hope this helps you understand
