Answer:

-1/2 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation: The first step you need to do in getting your answer is factoring ,you will factor the left side of the equation first:

(2x+1)(x-2)=0

Next, you will set the factors to equal to "0":

2x+1=0 x-2=0

Then you'll proceed to solve the problem using the basic algebraic equation problem solving steps .When you do this you'll be left with answers of x=-1/2 and x=2

Which does NOT represent the interior angle measures of a triangle?

lord [1]

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angles of a triangle ALWAYS have to be equal to 180

The sum of A is 180, however, those angles wont work because they have to be more close to eachother for it to be possible

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides

Theresa has two brothers,Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theres

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Theresa's height is 60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of Paul = The height of Steve

Paul's height = $1\dfrac{1}{2}$ times Theresa's height - 16 inches

Steve's height = $1\dfrac{1}{3}$ times Theresa's height - 6 inches

Let 'T' represents Theresa's height, we have;

Paul's height = $1\dfrac{1}{2}$ ×T - 16

Steve's height = $1\dfrac{1}{3}$ ×T - 6

Paul's height = Steve's height

Therefore;

$1\dfrac{1}{2}$ ×T - 16 = $1\dfrac{1}{3}$ ×T - 6

$1\dfrac{1}{2}$ ×T - $1\dfrac{1}{3}$ ×T = 10

$#\dfrac{3}{2}$ ×T - $\dfrac{4}{3}$ ×T = 10

$\dfrac{1}{6}$ ×T = 10

T = 10 × 6 = 60

Theresa's height, T = 60 inches
