Answer:
8 is the number you seek
Step-by-step explanation:
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
Capacity is the maximum amount that something can contain. Fluid ounces is how much something contains in ounces.
Answer:
A. $ (5 + 2x), B. = $ 305
Step-by-step explanation:
x miles
A. cost for x miles = 5 + 2x ($)
B. cost for 150 miles = 5 + 2*150 =305 ($)
<span>Pick two pairs: 4x - 3y + z = - 10. 2x + y + 3z = 0. ... Eliminate the same variable from each system: 4x - 3y + z = - 10. 2x + y + 3z = 0. ... Solve the system of the two new equations: -5y - 5z = - 10. 5y - 7z = 34. ... Substitute into one of the original equations: - x + 2y - 5z = 17. ... <span>Check: Does 2(1) + 4 + 3(- 2) = 0 ? Yes.</span></span>
