First you divide everything by 4 which will become b^2+2b-3=0
Then you can factor this which is
(b-1)(b+3)=0
B=1
B=-3 ... I think that's how you do it
Two strings are 15 inches and 7 inches long.
You could draw a diagram that has two rulers (that are longer than 12 inches).
Draw a piece of string that is exactly 15 inches on one ruler.
Draw another piece of string on the other ruler at exactly 7 inches.
Then you can find the total length of the two strings by adding 15 and 7 inches.
15 + 7 = 22
The total length of both the strings is 22 inches. You can draw a ruler and a piece of string on it at 22 inches.
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total = 45
Absentees = 9
Percentage = (No. of absentees / total) × 100
= 9 / 45 × 100
= 0.2 × 100
= <u>20%</u>
