Answer:

( x - 5 ) ( x + 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving quadratic equations it's important to remember that they have 2 solution. We need to work out the factors, sum and the products to successfully factorise the quadratic and solve it. So,

x² - x - 20 = 0

Sum = -1

Product = -20

So we need two numbers that sum to -1 and multiply together to make -20

Factors = -5 and 4

x² - 5x + 4x - 20

Factor x² - 5x and 4x -20 separately

x² - 5x = x ( x - 5 )

4x - 20 = 4 ( x - 5 ) So

x ( x - 5 ) + 4 ( x - 5 )

We can see a common factor of  ( x - 5 ) and the other bracket would be       ( x + 4)

( x - 5 ) ( x + 4 )

Two factory plants are making TV panels. Yesterday, Plant A produced 16,000 panels. Five percent of the panels from Plant A and
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Number of panels produced by Plant B is 8,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of panels produced by Plant A  = 16,000

The number of defective panels from A = 5%

Now, 5% of 16,000 = \frac{5}{100}  \times 16,000 = 800

So, out of  16,000 panels produced by pant A , 800 are defective. .. (1)

Let us assume number of panels produced by Plant B  = m

The number of defective panels from B = 2%

Now, 2% of m = \frac{2}{100}  \times m = 0.02 m

So, out of total m panels produced by pant B , 0.02 m are defective. .. (2)

Now, total panels produced over all = Panels by A  + Panels by B

= 16,000 + m

The percentage of defected panels over all = 4%

Now, 4% of (16,000 + m) = \frac{4}{100}  \times (16,000+m)  = (0.04)(16,000 + m)

Also, the total number of defective panels = Defective from A  + Defective from B

⇒(0.04)(16,000 + m)  =  800 +   0.02 m   from (1) and (2)

or, 640 + 0.04 m = 800 + 0.02

or, 0.02 m = 160

⇒ m = 160 /0.02 = 8,000

or, m = 8,000

Hence, Number of panels produced by Plant B is 8,000.
