Solve the following equation. x^2 + 6x − 40 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x²+6x-40= 0

The common factors to use for the factorisation are +10 and -4

x²+(10x-4x)-40=0

(x²+10x)-(4x-40) = 0

x(x+10)-4(x+10) = 0

(x-4)(x+10) = 0

x-4 =0 and x+10 = 0

x = 4 and x = -10

Find the slope of a ski run that descends 15 feet for every horizontal change 24 feets
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: 5/8


Step-by-step explanation:


Slope is determined by dividing the amount of vertical movement by the amount of horizontal movement and then simplifying the answer. In this case it is 15/24. To simplify you need to find the least common denominator (LCD), which is 3, and divide both numbers by it. 15/3=5 and 24/3=8, so the answer is 5/8.

How do i solve 4x - 2y = 22 and 2x + 4y = 6 using substitution and elimination?
Fiesta28 [93]

substitution and elimination means that you need to use one equation and substitute it in place of some variable in the other equation.

Consider the above two equations.

Take equation 1, which is 4x-2y=22 => x=(22+2y)/4

substitute the x value gained above in equation 2.

so, 2((22+2y)/4)+4y=6

22+2y+8y=12 => 10y = -10 => y= -1.

Substitute y= -1 in x value obtained in the beginning.

So, x= (22 - 2)/4 => 5.

There fore, x= 5 and y= -1

Hope it helps.
