How do I work out A & B ?

Mathematics

Sonja [21]3 years ago

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

x² + 5x + 6

Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

The factors are 3 and 2, since

3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

(b)

To solve

x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Answer:

a)

(x + 2)(x + 3)

b)

x = 2 \: or \: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a){x}^{2}  + 5x + 6

=  {x}^{2} + 2x + 3x + 6

= x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x + 3)

b)

{x}^{2}  + 5x + 6 = 0

{x}^{2} + 2x + 3x + 6 = 0

x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0

(x + 2)(x + 3) = 0

so \: either \: x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x + 3 = 0

therefore \: x =  - 2 \: or \: x =  - 3

To add 20.4 + 3.75 + 4.25, Crystal first added 3.75 and 4.25. Which property did Crystal use to add mentally?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Associative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of given options, option A correctly answers the question and this is because

a + b + c = a + (b + c) --- (1)

or

a + b + c = (a + b) + c --- (2)

<em>The above illustrations only apply to Associative Property of Addition</em>

In Crystal's case:

20.4 + 3.75 + 4.25 = 20.4 + (3.75 + 4.25)

This can be compared to (1) above

Hence;

<em>Option A answers the question</em>

Alex787 [66]

answer:

the decimal point shifts to the right to represent each multiplication by 10

Step-by-step explanation:

an example is 1.23*10

would give you 12.3 and if you multiply it by 100 it would give you 123

Jackson is two times older than Shelly. If the sum of their ages is 18, how old is Jackson?
salantis [7]
Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12

boyakko [2]

The inequality that correctly represents this scenario is given as follows:

2x + 5y \leq 25

The graph is given at the end of the question.

<h3>What is a system of inequalities?</h3>

A system of inequalities is when two or more variables are related, and inequalities are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: number of chocolate chips purchased.
  • Variable y: number of pecans sold.

Chocolate chips are $2 per pound and pecans are $5 per pound. She wants to spend at most $25, hence:

2x + 5y \leq 25
