Answer: w = 4 or w = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is 10w, so you can factor that out to get

10w(w-4) = 0

One or both of the factors being multiplied (10w and w-4) must equal zero for their product to equal zero.

Set both of the factors equal to zero and solve the separate equations:

10w = 0

w = 0

w - 4 = 0

w = 4

w = 4 or w = 0

Margie has a $50 budget to purchase a $45 pair of boots if there is an 8% sales tax rate then how much under budget will Marjori

Lynna [10]

Boots + (Boots * Tax %) < $50 budget

$45 + ($45 * 8%) < $50
45 + (45 * 0.08) < 50
45 + 3.60 < 50
48.60 < 50

Subtract the total boot cost from the total budgeted amount.

= 50 - 48.60
= $1.40 under budget

ANSWER: She will be $1.40 under budget.

Hope this helps! :)

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I think I know how to do quadratic formula, and I know all the steps, but the l

Nata [24]

Okay, so first you set equal to 0:
$6-6x^{2}=3x\\-6x^{2}-3x+6=0$

Next simplify the equation so that the leading coefficient is positive:
$\frac{-6x^{2}-3x+6}{-3}=\frac{0}{3}\\2x^{2}+x-2=0$

Looking at the quadratic equation you can't easily simplify it, so plug it into the quadratic equation and simplify:
$x=\frac{-b\ -+\ \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-(1)\ -+\ \sqrt{(1)^{2}-4(2)(-2)}}{2(2)}\\\\x=\frac{-1\ -+\ \sqrt{1+16}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{-1\ -+\ \sqrt{17}}{4}*\frac{-1}{-1}\\\\x=\frac{1\ -+\ \sqrt{17}}{-4},\ or\ B.$

I noticed a couple mistakes in your work, so if you want me to I can explain them in the comments section :)

Nalani says the expression 2+5x cannot be factored using the GCF. Is she correct? Explain why or why not

serious [3.7K]

The correct answer would be D, because there’s no other leading common factors between the two besides one.
