Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{4em}c = -14\end{minipage}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

A quadratic equation: x^{2} - 5x + c  = 0, with x =-2 is a solution.

<em><u>Solve for:</u></em>

Value of c

<em><u>Step 1: define the problem</u></em>

If x = -2 is a solution of equation f(x) = 0, then f(-2) = 0

<em><u>Step 2: Perform the calculation</u></em>

Substitute x = -2 into original quadratic equation, we have:

(-2)^{2} - 5(-2) + c = 0

Perform the square and multiplication:

4 + 10 + c = 0

Transfer all of numbers to the right side, except c:

(notice for the change in sign of numbers)

c = (-4) + (-10)

Perform the sum on the right side to get c:

c = -14

Hope this helps!

72 inches=___ yards please and thank you for your help
I am Lyosha [343]

We know that:

1yd=36in\text{.}

Then:

1in=\frac{1}{36}yd\text{.}

Therefore:

72in=72\cdot(\frac{1}{36}yd)\text{.}

Simplifying the above result we get:

72\cdot\frac{1}{36}yd=2yd\text{.}

Answer:

72\text{inches}=2\text{yards.}
