Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount on the shirt is 15%
Discount = price* discount rate
= 20 * 15%
= 20 * .15
=3
The new price is the previous price minus the discount
new price = 20-3
new price = 17
Answer:
x = - 2, x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x² + 1 = - 13x - 5 ( add 13x - 5 to both sides )
5x² + 13x + 6 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 5 × 6 = 30 and sum = 13
The factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
5x² + 10x + 3x + 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
5x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(5x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
5x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 5x = - 3 ⇒ x = - 
To factor a number out of an expression means to divide each term of the expression by that number.
So, if you want to factor
from the expression
, you'll write it as

So, in your case, when you divide both terms by -5 you get

So, the expression becomes
