Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the quadratic formula, that is ax2+bx+c=0

Where

x=\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2a}

For the given equation x2+5x-104=0 we have

a=1, b=5, c= -104

If you solve that, we will have x=-13. x=8, two answers,

The first one, by being negative does not have physical sense (there are no negatives quantities when you measure the length of something)

So we use the anwser x=8

|v|>3 solution to the inequality on the number line
Andrew [12]
On a number line, v would be all the numbers to the left of -3 (for example, |-4|=4 which is greater than 3) and all the values to the right of positive 3. Since it can't equal 3, v=-3 and v=3 are not included on the number line.

the Alvarez family bought a car for $2,000 they made a down payment of $500 if they want to pay the balance in 5 equal payments
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Actual cost of the car bought by Alvarez family = $2000
Amount of down payment made by the Alvarez family = $500
Outstanding amount
that has to be paid by the Alvarez family = (2000 - 500) dollars
                                                                  = 1500 dollars
Number of equal payments to pay the outstanding balance = 5
So
Payment that has to be made
by the Alvarez family in 5 equal parts = 1500/5 dollars
                                                             = 300 dollars
So the Alvarez family has to make 5 payments of $500 to complete the outstanding amount of the car. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
