Factored Form:
x^2 - 4x - 5
Simplifying:
x^2 + - 4x + - 5 = 0
Reorder the terms:
- 5 + - 4x + x^2 = 0
Solving for variable " x":
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor ( - 1 + - 1x) equal to Zero and attempt to solve.
Simplifying:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Solving:
- 1 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add 1 to each side of equation:
- 1 + 1 + - 1x = 0 + 1
Combine Like Terms: 0 + 1 = 1
x = - 1
Divide each side by - 1
x = - 1
Simplifying: x = - 1
Subproblem 2: Set the factor (5 + - 1x) equal to Zero attempt to solve
Simplifying:
5 + - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add - 5 to each side of the equation
5 + - 5 + - 1x = 0 + 5
Combine Like terms: 5 + - 5 = 0
0 + - 1x = 0 + - 5
- 1x = 0 + - 5
Combine Like Terms: 0 + - 5 = - 5
- 1x = - 5
Divide each side by - 1
x = 5
Simplifying:
x = 5
Solution:
x = { - 1, 5}
Answer when factored:
(x + 1)(x - 5)
hope that helps!!!
Answer:
x = 4 and y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the elimination method:
4(-x + 5y=-4) --> -4x + 20y = -16.
Now we add -4x + 20y = 016 and 4x + 3y = 16. This gives us 23y = 0 or just y =0.
Now we can find x by plugging in y.
-4x + 0 = -16.
Divide by -4 on both sides -> x = 4.
If you want to double check you can plug your values into -4x + 20y = -16.
-4(4) +20(0) = -16.
Cost of 6 sweets = 24p
so, cost of 1 sweet = 24p/6 = 4p
Now, cost of 5 sweets will be =4p*5 = 20p
