Answer:

  • Dien - 15 seconds, Jane - 10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Together:</u>

  • 2/3 of pizza ⇒ 4 seconds
  • Full pizza ⇒ 4 ÷ 2/3 = 6 seconds

Dien needs  x seconds to eat pizza

Jane needs  x - 5 seconds to eat pizza

<u><em>In one second, Dien can eat 1/x, Jane can eat 1/(x - 5), together 1/6 of a pizza</em></u>

  • 1/x + 1/(x - 5) = 1/6
  • x(x - 5) = 6(x + x - 5)
  • x² - 5x - 12x + 30 = 0
  • x² - 17x + 30 = 0
  • (x - 15)(x - 2) = 0
  • x = 15 (x = 2 is discounted as not realistic)

Dien can eat a pizza in 15 seconds, Jane can eat a pizza in 10 seconds

Algebra 2, I need help!!! Solve x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0. If you are going to comment in here please know the answer, this is so serious
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't factor this so we need to use the quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. However, we notice that b (which is 6) is even, so we can use the special quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0 and b is even, x = (-b' ± √(b'² - ac)) / a where b' = b / 2. In this case, a = 1, b' = 3 and c = 7 so:

x = (-3 ± √(3² - 1 * 7)) / 1 = -3 ± √2
