Answer:

x=5    x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 8x + 15

What two numbers multiply to 15 and add to -8

-5*-3 = 15

-5 +-3 = -8

(x-5) (x-3) =0

Using the zero product property

x-5 =0         x-3 =0

x=5                x=3

Answer:

x=5 or x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

find two numbers that add up to the middle number (-8) and multiply to equal the last number (15)

in this case -5 and -3 add to be -8 and multiply to be 15

add these numbers in place of -8x

x^2-5x-3x+15 now add parentheses

(x^2-5x) (-3x+15) take out common factors

(x-5)(x-3) now make each set of parentheses equal to zero

x-5=0 x-3=0 now solve

x=5 x=3

Triangle X Y Z is shown. The length of X Z is 12, the length of Y Z is 11, and the length of Y X is 6.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

84 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the Cosine Rule (Choice 2 is the correct one)  :-

12^2 = 11^2 + 6^2 - 2*11*6 cos Y

144 = 121 + 36 - 132 cos Y

cos Y = (121 + 36 - 144) / 132

cos Y = 0.09848

Y = 84.3 degrees

Answer:

Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.

We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.

Now let's make an equation:

52 = x + 5x - 2

We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:

54= x + 5x

No we need to add the like terms:

54 = 6x

Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.

Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)

So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.

The height of a trapezoid is 26 yards and the bases are 14 and 30 yards. What is the area (in square yards)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: 572 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the area of a (base1 + base2) x height/2

The two bases are 14 and 30. Add them up to get 44.

Then, times that by the height. You get 1,144.

Lastly, divide 1,144 by 2. You get 572.

I hope this helped!
