The proportion would be 1/3 and x/9. Cross multiplication creates 3x=9. Divide both sided by three, and there are 3 trombones in the orchestra.
Answer:
3(x + 2)(2x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6x² - 3x - 30 ← factor out 3 from each term
= 3(2x² - x - 10) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × - 10 = - 20 and sum = - 1
The factors are + 4 and - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 4x - 5x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
= (x + 2)(2x - 5), thus
2x² - x - 10 = (x + 2)(2x - 5) and
6x² - 3x - 30
= 3(x + 2)(2x - 5) ← in factored form
Answer:
$10294.20
Step-by-step explanation:
8550 increase 20.4% =
8550 × (1 + 20.4%) = 8550 × (1 + 0.204) = 10294.2
