25.3 is what i got for the first image.
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation , then isolating the variable
your answer is x=3/4
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
25 people took a vitamin and still got the flu and the total number is 100 so the fraction is 25/100 which can be reduce to 1/4
x²-4x-5=0
The given equation is quadratic
So we can perform prime factorisation of it.
factors of -5, that add up to give -4 are -5 and 1
therefore replacing -4x by -5x+x
x²-5x+x-5=0
performing factoring by grouping,
(x²-5x)+(x-5)=0
x(x-5)+(x-5)=0
(x+1)(x-5)=0
x+1=0 and x-5=0
Answer is x=-1 and x=5
