group the 1st 2 terms and last 2 terms:

(Z63 -2z^2) + (9z-18)

factor out GCF:

z^2(z-2) + 9(z-2)

now factor the polynomial:

(z-2) (z^2+9)

Here is your answer:

Combine like terms:

Z+2z=3z

3z-2+9z-18

3z+9z=12z

12z×3-2+-18

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

jeka94

Answer: 5 games

Step-by-step explanation: A .500 record means that the soccer team won half of their games ( that's how I interpret it). Since they are going to play 30 games, they need to win half of 30 or 15 games to have that record. 15-10 = 5. So, they need to win 5 more games to have a .500 record.
