Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0
2x²+6x-20
2(x²+3x-10)
the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)
(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)
2(x²+3x-10)
2(x²-2x+5x-10)
2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2)) group like terms
2(x+5)(x-2)
(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)
constant = 2 cannot be zero
the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)
(x+5)=0 => x= -5
or
(x-2)=0 => x=2
(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)
thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!
(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)
The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
I think you would have to multiply $4.92 and 6... if so the answer would be $29.52 for the unit price.
Answer: X=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
Perimeter= 2(l+w)
25= 2( 3x+4 +2x+1)
25= 2(3x+2x+4+1)
25= 2(5x+5)
25= 10x+10
Now subtract 10 on both sides..
25-10= 10x+10-10
15=10x
Now divide 10 on both sides to get x
15/10= 10x/10
1.5=X
Answer
-7.
5x-3 = -15
-15-4\4= -16
-16 + 9 = -7
Answer:
x = 1 and x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Next time, please separate the equations with a comma or semicolon. Thanks.
We can substitute 4x for y in the quadratic equation x^2 + y^2=17:
x² + (4x)²=17.
Then x² + 16x² = 17, or
17x² = 17, or x² = 1. There are two solutions: x = 1 and x = -1.
