Answer: x = 5, x = -7/2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
2x² - 3x - 35 = 0
<u>Step 1:</u> Find two values whose product = 2(-35) and sum = -3: -10 & 7
<u>Step 2: </u>Replace the b-value of -3x with -10x + 7x:
2x² - 10x + 7x - 35 = 0
<u>Step 3:</u> Factor the first two terms and the second two terms:
2x(x - 5) +7(x - 5) = 0
<u>Step 4</u>: Write the factored form:
Notice that the parenthesis are identical. This is one of the factors. The outside values are the other factor:
Parenthesis: (x - 5)
Outside: (2x + 7)
Factored form: (x - 5)(2x + 7) = 0
<u>Step 5: </u>Set each factor each to zero and solve for x:
x - 5 = 0 2x + 7 = 0
x - 5

Answer:
-3,694
I am not sure what in the world the rest means, so I am very sorry. I just subtracted some stuff. I have no clue if that helped...
hi <3
lets call the unknown number 'x' for now and form an equation from what we know
1/3(x-9) = 15
now multiply both sides by 3
x - 9 = 45
add 9 to both sides
x = 54
hope this helps :)
Answer: 19 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
takes Andrew 720 seconds to take a shower. He spends an additional 420 seconds eating breakfast.
How many minutes does it take Andrew to take a shower and eat breakfast?
From the question, we are told that Andrew spends 720 seconds to take a shower and also spends an additional 420 seconds eating breakfast. The total time spent by Andrew will be:
= 720 seconds + 420 seconds
= 1140 seconds
We will then convert 1140 seconds to minutes. We should note that 60 seconds = 1 minute. Therefore,
1140 seconds = 1140/60
= 19 minutes
Andrew uses 19 minutes to take a shower and eat breakfast.
