Answer:

2(x - 7)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 10x - 28 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(x² - 5x - 14) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 7 and + 2 , since

- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5 , thus

x² - 5x - 14 = (x - 7)(x + 2) and

2x² - 10x - 28 = 2(x - 7)(x + 2)

The cost of a pound of nails increased from $2.17 to $2.52. What is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number perce

Cloud [144]

Answer:

16% is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of a pound of nails increased from $2.17 to $2.52.

$2.52 - $2.17 = $0.35

so dividing the 0.35 by 2.17 would give us the percetange of increase

0.35/2.17 = 0.16 which is 16%.

Therefore, 16% is the percent of increase to the nearest whole-number percent.

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

$2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2$

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4$

System #2: x=1

$x+2y=5\\2x+y=4$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4$

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

$x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1$

System #3: x=6

$5x+y=33\\x=18-4y$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33$

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6$

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

$y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0$

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

$x+3y=5\\6x-y=11$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11$

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

$x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2$

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

$2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2$

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

$y=10+x\\2x+3y=45$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3$
