1/4 is the correct answer
Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms
6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0
Factor out the common term 2x + 5
(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0
Solve for x
<u>x = -5/2, -1/3</u>
Answer: x + 9x + (9x - 7)
Simplified: 19x - 7
Step-by-step explanation: We see that Abby already starts off with x dolls. We put a 9 infront of the x for the second part of the expression because Lauren has 9 times as many dolls as Abby. Since Betsy has 7 less than Lauren, we take away 7 from 9x. We put that part in parenthesis because that part needs to be done first before we add everything together. Once simplified, we have "19x - 7". (I really tried my best so I hope this is the correct answer!)
Answer:
<em>2,300,000pages report.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a USB drive with memory of 4.6*10⁶KB, in order to know the maximum number of pages a report can have so that it can be completely stored on the drive, the conversion factor must be used.
We must first understand that 1 page of a document uses up approximately 2kB of the storage.
Since 2kB = 1page
4.6*10⁶KB = x page
Cross multiply
2kB * x = 4.6*10⁶KB * 1
2x = 4.6*10⁶
x = 4.6*10⁶/2
x = 2.3*10⁶
x = 2,300,000
<em>Hence the maximum number of pages that the report can have so that it can be completely stored on a USB drive that holds 4.6*10⁶KB is approximately 2,300,000pages report.</em>
