Answer:

-1(x-2)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

first we factor the negative:

-1 (x^2 - 5x +6 )

the next step, (if possible) is to guess 2 numbers that multiplied are 6

and added are -5

in this case is easy to see that those numbers are -2 and -3

The solution then is:

-1(x-2)(x-3)

If guessing the 2 numbers doesn't work, you need to complete the square

Which system of equations would have no solution? pls helpp
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

3x+y=8 and 3x+y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume these two equations:

a1x+b1y+c1=0

a2x+b2y+c2=0

If (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2) than those two would have no solution.

In these case, take a look at the last option:

3x  + y = 8 \\ 3x + y = 9

Re-write 'em as a standard form:

3x  + y - 8 = 0 \\ 3x + y - 9 = 0

So (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2) is true here:

\frac{3}{3}  =  \frac{1}{1}  ≠ \frac{ - 8}{ - 9}

And they do not have any collision point

A coffee distributor plans to mix some Rift Valley coffee that normally sells for $12.10 per pound with some Mexican Shade Grown
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

24 pounds of Rift Valley coffee

26 pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

If R is pounds of Rift Valley coffee, and M is pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee, then:

R + M = 50

12.10 R + 13.10 M = 12.62 (50)

Substitute:

12.10 R + 13.10 (50 − R) = 12.62 (50)

12.10 R + 655 − 13.10 R = 631

R = 24

M = 26
