Answer:

b = - 5 , - 7 , 5 , 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard quadratic equation is of the form :

ax² + b x + c , where b = p + q and c = pq

Where p and q are factors of c.

Therefore , we will consider the factors of 6.

Factors of 6 = ( -1 , -6 ) , ( -2 , -3 ) , ( 1, 6 ) , ( 2 , 3)

x² + bx + 6

b = p + q

So, b = - 7 , -5, 7 , 5

Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season bill made 3 less then twice as many baskets as Susan. Together, all three made 42 bas

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.

Susan made 10 baskets.

Bill made 17 baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.

Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.

Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.

Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that

x = y + 5

Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that

z = 2y - 3

Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that

x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42

4y + 2 = 42

4y = 42 - 2 = 40

y = 40/4 = 10

x = y + 5 = 10 + 5

x = 15

z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3

z = 20 - 3 = 17

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-

pav-90 [236]

Answer: $y=-3x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the values $x=-2, y=4$ and $x=1, y=-5$ , the slope is $\frac{-5-4}{1-(-2)}=-3$ .

So, the equation is:

$y-4=-3(x+2)\\\\y-4=-3x-6\\\\y=-3x-2$
