Answer: n = 17
Step-by-step explanation: n= -68/-4= 17
Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
No. The sample size is too small to be reliable. If there were many bags of 500 candies that consistently showed a larger-than-marketed amount of green candy, that will be better proof.
Answer:
No, a negative "integer" can not be greater than a positive one (The opposite)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ex: <u>-2 0 2</u> two is over 0 so it is positive and greater.
Yes this seems about correct
