Hello,
x= the number
3x= three times the number
seven decreased by three times a number is forty, then:
7-3x=40
-3x=33
x=-11
Answer: the number is -11
Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x
x² = x * x
6 = 3 * 2
(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.
To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)
x = -3
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2
x = -3, -2
hope this helps
