We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
As a fraction it is 466666/1000000
You can buy 7 flats of flowers. this is because 10.99 is close to 11.00, and 7 x 11 is 77. and you cant do 77 + 11 to get less then 80.
the answer: 7 flats of flowers
hope it helps :)
Answer:
Y=2x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=0.5x-1
To find inverse, switch and y
x=0.5y-1
0.5y=x+1
Y=2x+2
The answer is (-2,3)
hope you have a great day ;)
