Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total ear buds in Mrs. Jackson’s class = 5/8
Number of black ear buds in Mrs. Jackson’s class = 2/3
What fraction of
the scholars have black ear buds?
2/3 of the scholars have black ear buds in Mrs. Jackson’s class
2/3 of 5/8
= 2/3 × 5/8
= 10/24
= 5/12
Fraction of the scholars that have black ear buds = 5/12
Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.
If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.
The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.
area = length * width
area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)
The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get
(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100
2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100
2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0
w^2 - w - 56 = 0
(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0
w - 8 = 0 or w + 7 = 0
w = 8 or w = -7
A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.
w = 8
The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n = -5, 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
n^2 + 2n - 15 = 0
Let's check if we can factor this quadratic:
We need 2 numbers whose product is -15 and whose sum is +2.
There are 2 such numbers and they are +5 and -3, so the factors are:
(n + 5)(n - 3) = 0.
n + 5 = 0 or n - 3 = 0
therefore the zeroes are -5 and 3.
