If 3/5 of the tree is unripe, then 2/5 of the tree is ripe.
2/5 = 0.4
0.4 x 100 = 40% of the tree is ripe
The solution is x = 1 and x = -3
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to solve the given equation by factoring
Given equation is:


Find a pair of integers whose product is c and and whose sum is b

Now find, a pair of integers whose sum is -2 and product is -3
The integers that satisfies this condition is -1 and 3
When we add - 1 and 3 we get 2
When multiply -1 and 3 we get -3
Thus the pair of integers are -1 and 3
Write the factored form using these integers.

The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0
Set the factors equal to 0

x = 1 and x = -3
Thus the solution is x = 1 and x = -3
You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.
15/50 = 0.3
that’s 30%
so 30% of people will not be wearing hats.
30% of 250 = 250 x 0.3
= 75 people
