I ain't Joseph but what's wrong?
75% of 500 is 375
so there are 375 seats filled.
so that mean's there 125 seats left
Answer:
It's like solving a quadratic, but in reverse, and in this case you'll arrive at x2+x−12=0
Explanation:
We're going to go "backwards" with this problem - normally we're asked to take a quadratic equation and find the roots. So we'll do what we normally do, but in reverse:
Let's start with the roots:
x=3, x=−4
So let's move the constants over with the x terms to have equations equal to 0:
x−3=0, x+4=0
Now we can set up the equation, as:
(x−3)(x+4)=0
We can now distribute out the 2 quantities:
x2+x−12=0
Answer:
A. (6x + 7)(6x - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
use difference of squares, which says a^2 - b^2 =(a+b)(a-b)
take the square roots of the two numbers, 6x and 7, and use them as a and b
A:5
I hope this helps you
Good luck on the rest :)
