Answer:
The student took the numbers for the factors 5, -4 for the zeros instead of solving the equation
The zeros are -5, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 +x - 20=0
What 2 number multiply to -20 and add to 1
5*-4 = -20
5+-4 = 1
(x+5)(x-4) =0
Using the zero product property
x+5 = 0 x-4 =0
x=-5 x=4
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write the equation.
C(n) = 4 + 3n
We know that C(n) = 31, so we can substitute it.
31 = 4 + 3n
Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.
27 = 3n
Divide both sides by 3 to get the variable by itself.
9 = n
Answer:
x=−3
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms that don't contain
x to the right side and solve.
