5 0

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x^2+36x+54=0$

First, you can factor out a 6:

$6(x^2+6x+9)=0$

Next, you can factor the quadratic:

$6(x+3)^2=0$

Since the only value of x that could set this equation equal to 0 is -3, that is the answer. Hope this helps!

A plane left 30 minutes late than its schedule time and in order to reach the destination 1500 km away in time it had to increas

schepotkina [342]

Let x= the usual speed
1500/x would equal how long it usually took the plane to read the destination
1500/(x+100) would equal how long it would take the plane now
So $\frac{1500}{x} - \frac{1500}{x+100} = \frac{1}{2}$ because it would lose 30 minutes already
Simplify:
$\frac{1500(x+100)-1500x}{x(x+100)} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1500x+150000-1500x}{x^2+100x} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{150000}{x^2+100x} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{300000}{x^2+100x} =1$
$300000= x^{2} +100x

x^2+100x-300000=0

x^2+600x-500x-300000=0

x(x+600)-500(x+600)

(x-500)(x+600)

x=500, x \neq -600
$

The usual speed was 500 hm/hr
