Mathematics
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -8 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.

a times c is 1 × -24 = -24.

Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and -3.

Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and -3/1.

Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x − 3.

x² + 5x − 24 = 0

(x + 8) (x − 3) = 0

x = -8 or 3

What are the solutions of 12 – x2 = 0?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

x = ± 2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )

12 = x² or

x² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±\sqrt{12}

  = ± \sqrt{4(3)} = ± 2\sqrt{3}

Determine sun or difference <br> -3 1/3 + 2 2/5
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

-14/15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to turn each mixed number into an improper fraction. So you get -10/3 + 12/5. Then you want to get the same denominator, and the LCD happens to be 15. You get -50/15 + 36/15. Addition is commutative, so you can do something like this: 36/15 - 50/15. You can do 36-50=-14, and then add the denominator to get -14/15.
