Answer:

- 11 or - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise

x² - 13x + 42

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)

The factors are - 6 and - 7, since

- 6 × - 7 = + 42 and - 6 - 7 = - 13, thus

x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 6)(x - 7)

compare to (x + A)(x + B)

A = - 6, B = - 7

thus 3A - B = 3(- 6) - (- 7) = - 18 + 7 = - 11

The factors may also be expressed as (x - 7)(x - 6)

with A = - 7 and B = - 6, then

3A - B = 3(- 7) - (- 6) = - 21 + 6 = - 15

Feliz [49]
450

If he used 1/3 of the stock bottle, then you have
150=1/3x

Now, you multiply both sides by 3, which gives you

450=x

So, originally there were 450 bottles in the stock bottle

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options.
Igoryamba

Answer:

x = -6/5

y = -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = -4

Y = 3x + 2

Substitute the second equation into the first equation

2x + 3x+2 = -4

Combine like terms

5x +2 = -4

Subtract 2 from each side

5x+2-2=-4-2

5x = -6

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -6/5

x = -6/5

Now we need to find y

y = 3x+2

y = 3(-6/5)+2

y = -18/5 + 10/5

y = -8/5

Height of window 0.6 feet less than 2.5 times it width height of window 4.9 feet
AURORKA [14]
Suggest you use some punctuation here:  "The h<span>eight of window is 0.6 feet less than 2.5 times it width.  The height of window  is 4.9 feet.  Find the width of the window."

height of window = 4.9 feet = 2.5(width) - 0.6 feet.

simplify this equation by adding 0.6 feet to both sides of the equation:

4.9 feet + 0.6 feet = 2.5 (width); find width:

5.5 feet = 2.5 (width)

Dividing both sides of this equation by 2.5 will result in an equation for the width of the window, in feet.</span>
