Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
Answer:
Ted is correct. Maggie made mistakes while trying to isolate x for both equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
For 3x-2=0, in order to move -2 to the left side, Maggie had to add 2 on both sides because -2+2=0. The same problem is seen for x+5=0. Maggie had to subtract 5 on both sides because +5-5=0
Answer: -10 ÷ -2/5
Step-by-step explanation: this would equal 25 which is greater than 10. Hope this helps!
Answer:
10.2% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 peaches and 8 bananas for a total of 20 pieces of fruit.
So we can write it:
= 
= .102 or 10.2% chance
For ease multiply all numerators (top numbers) together, then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together, and then divide.
12 * 11 * 10 * 9 = 11880
20 * 19 * 18 * 17 = 116,280
We start with 12 peaches and 20 total fruit, as we select a peach the number of peaches and total fruit goes down by one. We do this 4 times because you draw 4 fruits. If you select 1 fruit your chances of it being a peach are 12/20, each time you select a fruit the chances of it being a peach go down because you have 1 less total fruit, and 1 less peach. This is why you multiply each probability together.
Answer:
$100
Step-by-step explanation:
$80=4/5 of her original money
