<u> Equation:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Steps:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
x(x - 5 ): x^2 - 5x
x^2 - 5x + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
3(x + 5): 3x + 15
x^2 - 5x + 3x + 15
<u>Add Similar Elements: </u>
-5x + 3x
= -2x
Answer x^2 - 2x + 15 Doesn't Factor
Hope that helps!!! : )
Answer:
second one
Step-by-step explanation:
If xy=0 assume that at leas 1 is zero
set it to zero
0=2a^2-16a+32
undistribute 2
0=2(a^2-8a+16)
2*0=0 so assume
a^2-8a+16=0
factor
(a-4)(a-4)=0
set to zero
a-4=0
a=4
when a=4, equation equals zero
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite x-2y=4 x-2y=5 in column form:
x-2y=4
x-2y=5
Because both equations have x - 2y on the left and different constants on the right, we know immediately that there is no solution. These two lines are parallel and different; they never cross.
Answer:
10 friends got into the fair
Step-by-step explanation:
If county fair cost is $2.5 per person
$10 to catch a trolley
total cost = $35
Total county fair cost= total cost - trolley cost
= $35 - $10
= $25
So if $25 was spent on county fair, then the number of friends that went is
$25/$2.5 = 10
That is total cost divided by cost per person gives number of persons
