Leslie and Marvin, both teachers, are adding books to their class libraries. Leslie's classroom started out with a collection of

only 20 books, but she plans to purchase an additional 3 books per week. Marvin's library started out with 40 books, and he has enough money in his budget to purchase another 1 book per week. At some point, the two teachers' libraries will contain the same number of books. How many weeks will that take?

Answer:

10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 20 + 3x

M = 40 + x

20 + 3x = 40 + x

3x = 20 + x

2x = 20

x = 10

For what values of $x$ is it true that $x^2 - 5x - 4 \le 10$? Express your answer in interval notation.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

  x ∈ [-2, 7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation ...

  x^2 -5x -4 ≤ 10

can be rewritten as ...

  x^2 -5x -14 ≤ 0

and factored as ...

  (x +2)(x -7) ≤ 0

Clearly, the "or equal to" condition will be met when x=-2 and x=7. For values of x between these numbers, one factor is negative and the other is positive. Hence the product will be negative. So, numbers in that interval are the solution set.

  x ∈ [-2, 7]

Last month, a factory produced 880 television sets. This month, the same factory produced 1,210 television sets. The increase in
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

330 television set

Step-by-step explanation:

Last month production = 880 television sets

This month production = 1,210 television sets

The increase in production from last month to this month = This month production - Last month production

= 1,210 - 880

= 330

The increase in production from last month to this month = 330 television set

Expand and simplify (x + 11)(x + 11)
labwork [276]

Answer:

Expand: x² + 11x + 11x + 121

Simplify: x² + 22x + 121

Step-by-step explanation:

To expand this, you can use the FOIL technique:

First terms

Outer terms

Inner terms

Last terms

(x+11)(x+11)

F - x*x = x²

O - x*11 = 11x

I - 11*x = 11x

L - 11*11 = 121

Put these numbers together (expanded) to get:

x² + 11x + 11x + 121

Put the common terms together (simplify) to get:

x² + 22x + 121

Note:

Not sure if you need this info, but (x + 11)(x + 11) is the same as (x + 11)².

The numbers need to be in the order I put them in because you are supposed to place them in order greatest to least degree.

Hope it helps!
