-6 and 4.5
So to do this you’ll make an equation x will represent the number so 4x^2+6x=108 so we want the equation to equal 0 so we can solve it to do that you have to subtract 108 from both sides so it ends up being 4x^2+6x-108=0 we want to isolate the x onto one side and division property allows us to divide both sides by 2 the reason it’s two is because 2 is the biggest divisible number that every number in the equation is divisible by so once you divide every number by two you get 2x^2+3x-54=0 now you have to factor cause but since you only have 3x and nothing else to factor with you have to write 3x as a difference so you could do 2x^2+12x-9x-54=0 so you are complicating the problem so you can factor out 2x from the expression so 2x(x+6)- 9(x+6)=0 the 54 got factored because it’s divisible by 9 that 6 is in replace of the 54 cause if you solved it 9x6 is still 54 next factor out x+6 so (x+6) x (2x-9) =0 so one of the two have to equal 0 so right the equations separately x+6=0 minus 6 from both sides and you’ll get x to equal -6 and 2x-9=0 add 9 to both sides and you’ll get 2x=9 divide both sides by 9 and you’ll get x to equal 4.5 when you plug 4.5 and -6 for x the equation works out

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

(3x+9)^o+90^o=180^o ----> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)

Solve for x

Combine like terms

(3x+99)^o=180^o

subtract 99 both sides

3x=180-99\\3x=81

Divide by 3 both sides

x=27

A factory packed 9600kg of flour in to small bags and large bags. Each small bag contained 3kg of flour and each large bag conta
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

696 large bags of flour were packed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let large bags of flour be 'y'

Let small bags of flour be 'x'. That is x=2040 (according to the question)

(3 \times x) + (5 \times y) = 9600

(3 \times 2040) + ( 5 \times y) = 9600

(6120) + (5 \times x) = 9600

(5 \times x) = 9600 - 6120

(5 \times x) = 3480

x = 3480  \div 5

x = 696

HOPE IT HELPS
