Seems like you had your minus signs backwards. Try y = 3 and y = -6
What this question is asking you to find 80% of 25. 10% of 25 is 2.5 because there is always a decimal point directly to the right of the ones place. (25.0)
You would move the decimal point over one place to find 10% of a given number. How I would approach this is to multiply 2.5 by 8 to find 80% of 25
2.5 x 8 = 20
80% of 25 = 20
You can expect the work group to get done 20 out of 25 of their objectives per quarter
Answer:
One way to factor equation is to find the zeros. Its obvious that x=-1 is solution for this. So one factor is (x+1)
the next factor should include 2x at first (because we have 2x^2 in the equation which can not be made any other way)
Let's suppose the factor is (x+1)(2x+b)
Since we do not know what is b open the brackets 2x^2+bx+2x+b. If this is equal to 2x^2+5x+3 then b=3. We are left with (x+1)(2x+3)=2(x+1)(x+3/2)
Would go for other shorter solutions, but they require some deeper understanding like Horner's scheme,Fermat's Theorem or even deeper which I assume You will not understand)
