Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x
x² = x * x
6 = 3 * 2
(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.
To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)
x = -3
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2
x = -3, -2
hope this helps
Answer: 27, 28 and 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the panels take three consecutive numbers of bolts to attach to the wall, let the numbers be y, y+1 and y+2.
y+y+1+y+2 = 84
3y+3=84
3y = 84 - 3
3y = 81
y = 27
Therefore, the bolts are 27, 28 and 29 respectively
There are 14 chairs and 8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:
So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:
Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:
¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆ x 3!
2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.
Another way to solve this problem is as follow:
5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:
The 1st has a choice among 14 ways
The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways
The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways
The 4th has a choice among 11 ways
The 5th has a choice among 10 ways
The 6th has a choice among 9ways
So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways
But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!
or 6 ways:
Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960
