Answer:

roots: 1 and 3

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 roots: p and p+2

(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k

x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k

-2 (p+1) = -4

p+1 = 2

p = 1   ... root 1

p' = 1+2 = 3   ... root 2

k = p² + 2p = 3

check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k

On Tuesday, Marissa was $45 short of her fundraising goal. The next day, she was $5 over her goal write an equation to show how
scoray [572]

Answer: Hello daema, let's let x be the goal and c be the collection per day.

x - 45 + c = x + 5 is the answer so now let's talk about how we did that.

So she wants to get to x which is the goal. But right now she has 45 less than what her goal is. So that would look like this x - 45 now she has to get c or the collection per day to get to her goal. So now it looks like this x - 45 + c. Now that c has to be at least x which is her goal, it now will look like this x - 45 + c = x. But we're not done, the question said that now she 5$ over her goal, or x. So we have to add the + 5 onto the end so now it looks like this x - 45 + c = x + 5. To solve the equation "if you have to" it would be x = 50$ per day.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$6.43

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by multiplying $1.49 by 5 because you bought 5 cartons for $1.49, that would equal $7.45. Then, you multiply $3.06 by 2 because you bought 2 gallons, and you will get $6.12. Then you add both answers: $7.45 and $6.12. And you will get $13.57. Then, you hand him a $20, so $20 minus $13.57 equals $6.43! Please mark as brainliest! I worked hard! Plus hope this helps =)
