If you would like to know the solution to the equation (x - 2) * (x + 5) = 18, you can calculate this using the following steps:
(x - 2) * (x + 5<span>) = 18
</span>x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = 18
x^2 + 3x - 28 = 0
(x + 7) * (x - 4) = 0
1. x = - 7
2. x = 4
The correct result would be x = - 7.
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.
Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
The answer is 0 because the formula to finding a slope from two different points are y1-y2/x1-x2 (meaning as a fraction) in this case, the answer is 0/5, which is equivalent to 0
