Step-by-step explanation:
1. We we can split 4p into 9p - 5p, and now we have 3p² + 9p - 5p - 15 = 0. We can take out 3p from the first 2 terms and -5 from the last 2 terms. This gets us 3p (p + 3) -5 (p + 3) = 0. These two terms have (p + 3) as a common facor, so we can take that out as well, which give us (p + 3)(3p - 5) = ). Using Zero Product Property, p + 3 = 0 and 3p - 5 = 0, and when we solve each equation, we get p = -3, p= 5/3.
2. We will use the same process.
6x² + 14x - 3x - 7 = 0
2x (3x+7) - 1 (3x+7) = 0
(3x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0
3x + 7 = 0, 2x - 1 = 0
x = -7/3, x=1/2
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
The above given statements can be written as decimals by first writing both quantities in a statement in the same unit.
1. $6.00 to 95 cents:
This is same as $6.00 : 95 cents = \frac{6.00}{95}956.00
Convert $6 .00 to cents to make both quantities be in the same unit.
$1 = 100 cents
$6.00 = 6*100 = 600 cents
\frac{600}{95} = 6.3295600=6.32 (to 2 d.p)
2. 3 hours to 35 minutes:
Convert 3 hours to 35 mins
1 hr = 60 mins
3 hrs = 3*60 = 180 mins
180mins : 35 mins = \frac{180}{35} = 5.14180mins:35mins=35180=5.14 (2 d.p)
3. 42 inches to 2 feet:
Convert 2 ft to inches
1 ft = 12 inches
2ft = 2*12 = 24 inches
42 in:24 in = \frac{42}{24} = 1.7542in:24in=2442=1.75
Answer: The loser's card shows 6.
Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.
1 12
1 15
1 18
2 6
2 9
3 4
3 5
3 6
4 3
5 3
6 2
6 3
9 2
12 1
15 1
18 1
Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.
1 12
1 15
1 18
2 6
2 9
3 4
3 5
3 6
6 2
6 3
Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.
2 6
3 6
Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.
B is the answer because none of the others will be right and b is the one you should always do when to solve a rea word problem
