Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know one root is -3, we know one factor of the equation is (x+3)
From there we can use the factor we know to factor the rest of the equation:
x^2 + x - 6 = (x+3) * ?
Since know -6 is just 3 * -2 and since 3-2 is 1,
(x+3)(x-2) = x^2 + x - 6
From there,
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this problem is 3 11/12.
1.8 3/4= 8 9/12
2.4 5/6 = 4 10/12
if you minus the two numbers, you get 3 11/12.
Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
2,356 students would say corn is their favorite because if 62 out of 100 loved corn and there are 3,800 students you can multiply 62 by 38 and get your answer.
9 inches * 1 foot / 12 inches
= 3/4 feet deep
Area of the sidewalk:
= the sides of the pool * the width of the sidewalk + the corners of the sidewalk (width * width)
= 2 sides * 6 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 2 sides * 14 (feet / side) * 2 feet + 4 corners * (2 feet * 2 feet / corner)
= 12 feet * 2 feet + 28 feet * 2 feet + 4 * 2 feet * 2 feet
= 24 feet^2 + 56 feet^2 + 16 feet^2
= 96 feet^2
Volume:
= 96 feet^2 * 3/4 feet
= (96 * 3 / 4) feet^3
= (19 * 3) feet^3
= 57 feet^3
