Answer:

Assuming that the x2 is x squared, B

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)(1) + 5(1) - 6 = 1 + 5 - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0

(-6)(-6) + 5(-6) - 6 = 36 - 30 - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve using factoring.

x²+5x-6=0

5 is the sum of the numbers, while -6 is their product.

Think: which two numbers add up to 5, but when multiplied, equal -6?

Those numbers are -1 and 6.

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-1)(x+6)=0

split into parts:

(x-1)=0

x-1=0

x=1

(x+6)=0

x+6=0

x=-6

So B

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Abby’s Expression:

Double m, giving 2m. She then takes 20% of the result, which we can write 0.2(2m). Finally she subtracts this from 2m, giving 2m−(0.2)2m

2m − (0.2)2m

Renato’s Expression:

Divide m by 5, giving m ÷ 5 = m/5, and then multiplies the result by 8, giving:

8(m/5)

Nina had 9 apples to share with 5 of her friends. If all 6 people get equal share , how many apples will each person get? How do
Umnica [9.8K]
<span> Nina + her 5 friends = 6 people
Then she has 9 apple to share with her and her friends.
Let’s calculate how many apple will each people get when they equally divide it with each other:
=> 9 – 6 = 3
Thus already have 1 apple each, now, let’s divide the remaining 3 apples
=> 3 / 6 = .5
So they have half of apple each. Let’s add
=> 1 + .5 = 1.5
Each person will get 1.5 apple.
=> 1.5 * 6 = 9</span>
