Because 20 students are boy and they pick more boys because there are 20 boys students
Let unknown integer be n.
So then your sentence would translate to 3n² + n = 2.
If you need to solve for n then we can move 2 to left side by subtract both sides by 2:
3n² + n - 2 = 0
Now you can factor:
3n² + 3n -2n - 2 = 0
3n( n + 1 ) - 2( n + 1 ) = 0
( 3n - 2 )( n + 1 ) = 0
3n - 2 = 0 OR n + 1 = 0
3n = 2 OR n = -1
n = 2/3 OR n = -1
Final answer: n = 2/3 OR n = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2/3 )x (1/6)
Cross Multiply:
.... so the 2 and 6 would become 1 and 3
..... Like that
..... (3x3=9)
-1/9 .... Answer
Hope this helps!!
