G(x) = 2x² - 5x + 2 = 2x² - 4x - x + 2 = 2x · x - 2x · 2 - 1 · x - 1 · (-2)
= 2x(x - 2) -1(x - 2) = (x - 2)(2x - 1)
g(x) = 0 ⇔ (x - 2)(2x - 1) = 0 ⇔ x - 2 = 0 or 2x - 1 = 0
x = 2 or x = 0.5
Answer:
x = -12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve : -2x - 10 =15
-2x - 10 = 15
-2x = 15 + 10
-2x = 25
x = -25/2
x = -12.5
Answer:
boys = 705
girls = 783
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school
the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation
x = boys
y = girls
y - x = 78 equation 1
y + x = 1488 equation 2
subtract equation 1 from 2
2x = 1410
x = 1410/2 = 705
Substitute for x in equation 1
y - 705 = 78
y = 705 + 78 = 783
