When estimating, compatible numbers are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers, and which make it easy to do mental arithmetic.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that grasslands don't thrive in the cold, so we'll cross out the Arctic Circle.
Mid latitudes are 60 degrees, so it would be cold there too.
Tropical latitudes would be pretty hot.
So my guess is near the equator.
Answer:
x = 2 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 3x - 4 = 6
x² + 3x -4 - 6 = 0
x² + 3x - 10 = 0 (Here you find two numbers that have a sum of 3 and a product of -10. These two numbers would be 5 and -2. 5 - 2=3 and 5×-2 =-10.)
x² + 5x - 2x -10 = 0 (They you replace 3x by 5x and -2x)
(x² + 5x) (-2x -10) =0 - (You find common terms)
x(x + 5) -2(x + 5) = 0
(x - 2) (x + 5) = 0
So
x - 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
x =2 x = -5
