First, the factor pairs for 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6
Since the middle term is -3, the two factors must be 3 apart. The only pair that is 3 values apart is 3, 6.
Since the middle value is negative, the larger number is negative. This means that the 6 is negative.
z = -6
z = 3
Set each equal to 0;
z = -6
z + 6 = 0
z = 3
z - 3 =0
So your factors are (z+6) and (z-3), or answer B.
The two numbers would be -7 and 24.
Average = (A₁+A₂+A₃+A₄+A₅)/5. Since average = 20 (GIVEN), then:
20 = (A₁+A₂+A₃+A₄+A₅)/5
Or (A₁+A₂+A₃+A₄+A₅) = 20x5
(A₁+A₂+A₃+A₄+A₅) = 100
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were only 2 options, all the people who didn't pick one chose the other one.
So if 25% of the people voted for the aquarium the remaing 75% voted for the zoo.
Since three times as many people voted for the zoo, we can see that 120/3=40, so 40 people chose the aquarium.
To find the total number of students, we add 120 and 40 to get <u>160</u>
