There is no work to show. It is really just trial and error till you get the hang of it. You look at the multiples of the last term and find.which add or subtract to the middle terms coefficient. Use DeCartes law of signs to determine if it is plus or minus.
1. Does not factor solve using other method
2. (X-5)^2
Answer:
10 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set an equation for you and your brother.
You have $90 plus $18 for every week you save (x).
90+18x
And your brother has $120 plus $15 dollars per week that he saves (x)
120+15x
You want to have the sum of the money equal so combine the two concluded statements
90+18x=120+15x
Arrange them so that you have like terms on each side
90+18x-15x=12+15x-15x
90+3x=120
90-90+3x=120-90
3x=30
x=10
"x" is our number of weeks you and your brother save so the answer is 10 weeks
Just to be sure you can use our equation and plug 10 for every time you see x to make sure our answer is right.
One number is 4
Another is 2 I hope this helped
These are two problems that fit in that description 10+(-2) AND 15+(-7)
Use the formula a = a+b/2h
