Number of votes won by A = p
Number of votes won by B = 35

Number of votes won by B are 125% of the number of votes won by A. So we can write that 35 is 125% of p. In equation form we can translate it as:

35 = 125% of p 
35 = 1.25 x p 
p = 35/1.25
p = 28

So the number of votes won be A are 28.

Complete the blank with either ∈ or ∉ so that the resulting statement is true. −2​__{−6,−3,−5,−1}
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

−2​ ∉ {−6,−3,−5,−1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Set = {−6,−3,−5,−1}

Element = -2

Required

The interpretation of the question is to state if -2 is an element of the given set or not

The first thing to do is to check through the set to count the number of occurrence of -2

Looking through Set = {−6,−3,−5,−1}, we have that the occurrence of -2 is 0

This implies that -2 is not an element of the given set and this is represented by the symbol ∉

Hence:

−2​ ∉ {−6,−3,−5,−1}

Mrac [35]
Use ax^2 + bx + c = 0

ac = -8
b = 2

The factors are 4 and -2.
Plug them into the equation:

x^2 + 4x - 2x - 8

Then factorise it:

x ( x + 4) - 2 (x + 4)

so m = 4

(x + 4)^2
