The two factors of a quadratic equation can be multiplied to form the original equation. Let the missing term be a:
y² + 15y + 56 = (y + 7)(y + a)
y² + 15y + 56 = y² + (7 + a)y + 7a
We can now compare the coefficient of the like terms, either the one with y or the one without y, and find the value of a.
15 = 7 + a; a = 8
OR
56 = 7a; a = 8
Second factor is (y + 8)
The answer is 13 you subtract 25 and 12
Answer:
Jane is 9 1/4 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Camden is 10 1/2 years old and Jane is (10 2/4 - 1 1/4) which equals 9 1/4 years
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Any solution x will mod 23 will also have x+23n as a solution, for some integer n. Since 900/23 = 39 3/23, we know there are 39 or 40 three-digit integers of this form.
As it happens, 100 is the smallest 3-digit solution. So, there are 40 three-digit numbers that are of the form 100 +23n, hence 40 solutions to the equation.
_____
The equation reduces, mod 23, to ...
10x = 11
Its solutions are x = 23n +8.
