Answer:

x=6 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12 = 0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -12 and add to -4

-6*2 = -12

-6+2 = -4

(x-6)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

(x-6) =0 x+2 = 0

x=6 x=-2

Average speed = (distance final - distance initial)/(time final - time initial)
Average speed = (30-0)km /(100 -0)min = 3/10 km/min

3/10 km/min *60 min/1 h = 180/10 km/h= 18 km/h

Isabella went into a movie theater and bought 3 drinks and 10 pretzels, costing a total of $54.50. Jason went into the same movi

ruslelena [56]

The price of 1 drink is $ 4 and price of 1 pretzel is $ 4.25

Solution:

Let d" be the price of 1 drink

Let "p" be the price of 1 pretzel

Given that, Isabella went into a movie theater and bought 3 drinks and 10 pretzels, costing a total of $54.50

Therefore, we can frame a equation as,

3 x price of 1 drink + 10 x price of 1 pretzel = 54.50

$3 \times d + 10 \times p = 54.50$

3d + 10p = 54.5 ---------- eqn 1

Jason went into the same movie theater and bought 9 drinks and 5 pretzels, costing a total of $57.25

9 x price of 1 drink + 5 x price of 1 pretzel = 57.25

$9 \times d + 5 \times p = 57.25$

9d + 5p = 57.25 ---------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

9d + 30p = 163.5 ----- eqn 3

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

9d + 30p = 163.5

9d + 5p = 57.25

( - ) -----------------------

25p = 106.25

p = 4.25

Substitute p = 4.25 in eqn 1

3d + 10(4.25) = 54.5

3d + 42.5 = 54.5

3d = 54.5 - 42.5

3d = 12

d = 4

Thus price of 1 drink is $ 4 and price of 1 pretzel is $ 4.25
