Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
Total number of animals at the shelter = 15 + 12 +3 + 5 = 35 animals.
Let the total number of animals be represented by 100%
There are 15 dogs and 12 cats so:
% Number of dogs = 15/35 x 100% = 42.86%
% Number of cats = 12/35 x 100% = 34.28%
X^2-6x+7=0
-b +/- sqrt b^2-4ac all over 2a
a=1 b= -6 and c=7
6+/- sqrt 36-4×1×7 all over 2×1
6+/- sqrt 8 all over 2
6+/- 2sqrt2 all over 2
reduce
3+/- sqrrt2
In order from greatest to least, the ribbons go
7/8 (Green)
3/4 (Pink)
1/3 (Blue)
This because 7 out of 8 is a larger number than 3 out of 4, and 3 out of 4 is greater than 1 out of 3.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use simultaneous linear equation as there are 2 equations given
use the subtitution method as what I've shown above
Hope you can understand well
Stay safe!
