Answer: green shirts = 6

Blue shirts = 11

Yellow shirts = 4

Red shirts = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Red shirts = 7

Let green shirts be x.

There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. This means:

Blue shirts = x + 5

There are 2 fewer yellow shirts than green shirts. This means:

Yellow shirts = x - 2

There are 28 shirts in total

Red + blue + yellow + green = 28

7 + (x + 5) + (x - 2) + x = 28

7 + x + 5 + x - 2 + x = 28

10 + 3x = 28

3x = 28 - 10

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

There are 6 green shirts

Blue shirts = x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Yellow shirts = x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

Red shirts = 7

Identify the factors of x2-8x-20
sukhopar [10]
Simplifying x2 + -8x = 20 Reorder the terms: -8x + x2 = 20 Solving -8x + x2 = 20 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -20 + -8x + x2 = 20 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 -20 + -8x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-2 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x = 0 Solving -2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 2 -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-2, 10}

Write a number sentence to compare 7.17 and 7.170
yulyashka [42]
Both of these values are the same, so the number sentence would state:

7.17 = 7.170

You can place any number of zeros to the very end on the right side (when there is a decimal point) without changing the value of the number.

7.1700000 = 7.17 also
