Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y=2x^2+28x+96. We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.

Let us factor our given equation as:

2x^2+28x+96=0

Dividing both sides by 2:

x^2+14x+48=0

Splitting the middle term:

x^2+6x+8x+48=0

(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0

x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0

(x+8)(x+6)=0

Using zero product property:

(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0

x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0

x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6.

We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:

\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7

Therefore, the equation x=-7 represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.

Working together, it takes Sam, Jenna, and Francisco two hours to paint one room. When Sam works alone, he can paint one room in
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:  12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Working together, it takes Sam, Jenna, and Francisco two hours to paint one room.

When Sam works alone, he can paint one room in 6 hours. When Jenna works alone, she can paint one room in 4 hours.

Let 't' be the time taken by Francisco to paint one room on his own.

Then , we have

Rate of work of  Sam +Rate of work of Jenna + Rate of work of  Francisco =Rate of work they all do together

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-(\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4})

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-(\dfrac{4+6}{24})

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{10}{24}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{5}{12}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{6-5}{12}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{12}

i.e. t= 12

Hence,  Francisco would take 12 hours to  paint one room on his own.

Adam and Tom share a sum of money in the ratio 18:17
Digiron [165]

x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.

since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

\stackrel{Adam~received}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that Adam got "5" more}}{ \stackrel{Adam}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{Tom}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}~~ + ~~5} }\qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{18x}{35}~~ + ~~\cfrac{17x}{35}+5

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{35}}{35\left( \cfrac{18x}{35} \right)~~ = ~~35\left( \cfrac{17x}{35}+5 \right)}\implies 18x~~ = ~~17x+175\implies \boxed{x =175} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\implies \cfrac{17(175)}{35}\implies \blacktriangleright 85 \blacktriangleleft

There are 5 blue
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The probability of randomly picking a red candy is 1/20 and In percentage value 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 blue candies, 6 red candies, and 9 yellow candies.

Now, Total

5 + 6 + 9 = 20 candies

Now, The probability of randomly picking a red candy is 1/20

Now, In percentage

1/20 × 100% = 5%

Thus, The probability of randomly picking a red candy is 1/20 and In percentage value 5%.

Waheeda wants to buy a skateboard. She has $15 in savings. A skateboard costs $75. How much more money does she need? Write and
erica [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Suppose Waheeda needs x more dollars.

Right now, she has $15. She needs x more, so we add x to 15. The end result we hope to have is $75. So, the equation is:

x + 15 = 75

To solve, we simply subtract 15 from both sides: x = 75 - 15 = 60

Thus, she still needs $60.

Hope this helps!
