Solve by factoring: 2x2 - 5x - 12 = 0

Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 {x}^{2} - 5x - 12$

$2 {x}^{2} - 8x + 3x - 12$

$2x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)$

$2x + 3 = 0 \: \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = \frac{ - 3}{2} \: \: x =4$

Jenna is running a trail that is 8 4/7 miles long. If she has finished running 5/9 of the distance, about how far has she run?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Jenna has run the distance of $\frac{100}{21}$ miles .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance for the trail = 8 $\frac{4}{7}$ = $\frac{56+4}{7}$

Or , Distance = $\frac{60}{7}$ miles

The distance cover by Jenna = $\frac{5}{9}$ miles of the distance

I.e The distance cover by Jenna = $\frac{5}{9}$ × $\frac{60}{7}$

Or, The distance cover by Jenna = $\frac{100}{21}$ miles

Hence Jenna has run the distance of $\frac{100}{21}$ miles . Answer
