Answer:

x = -5 or  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

x²+9x+20 = 0

We have to solve it by factoring.

Step 1.  Split the middle term of given equation so that the sum of two term should be 9 and their product be 20.

x²+5x+4x+20 = 0

Step 2.  Making groups ang taking common terms.

x(x+5)+4(x+5) = 0

Step 3.  Taking (x+5) as common,we get

(x+5)(x+4) = 0

Step 4. Applying Zero-Product Property to above equation,we get

x+5 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = -5 or  x = -4 which is the answer.

Answer:

We have been given an equation x^2+9x+20=0

We will factorize it by  middle term splitting.

Step 1: x^2+5x+4x+20=0

Taking common factors out by clubing first two terms ad last two terms

Step 2: x(x+5)+4(x+5)=0

Step 3: (x+4)(x+5)=0

Equating both above factors to zero as:

Step 4: (x+4)=0\Rightarrow x=-4

   And (x+5)=0\Rightarrow x=-5.

UGH GEEZ PLEASE HELP
trapecia [35]

Answer:

$0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

1st week total: 12.99 + 10.50 + 9.89 + 6.90 + 7.58 = $47.86

5 days total so the mean of 1st week: 47.86 / 5 = $9.57

2nd week, 2 more in total of 1st week = $47.86 + $ 2 = $49.86

The mean of 2nd week: 49.86 / 5 = $9.97

$9.97 - $9.57 = $0.40

2nd week increased 40 cents or $0.40

-4x + 4!
The point 0,4 means that b will be equal to 4, as it’s the starting point. From there, if you go down 4 twice you have 2, and then -4.
