Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of green beans (g) to pumpkin (p) is ...
... g : p = 1 : 5
Then the ratio of green beans to the total is ...
... g : (g+p) = 1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6
Since you have
... g/total = (1/6)
... g = total · 1/6
you can substitute 114 for the total to find ...
... g = 114 · 1/6 = 19
The answer is y = -7x
Expalnation
Two points on the table are (0,0) and (1,-7)
Change in y = -7-0 = -7
Change in x = 1-0 = 1
Slope m of the function = -7/1= -7
Using y= mx + c
Picking point (0,0), x = 0, y = 0
y = mx + c becomes
0 = -7(0) + c
0 = 0 + c
c= 0
Hence, the equation is y = -7x + 0
which is y = -7x
Option b is the correct answer
Step 2, 5*155= 775,which means the steps after that would make the answer even more variable
2x2-5x-18=0
Two solutions were found :
x = -2
x = 9/2 = 4.500
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x2 - 5x) - 18 = 0
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2-5x-18
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -18
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -18 = -36
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-36 + 1 = -35
-18 + 2 = -16
-12 + 3 = -9
-9 + 4 = -5 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and 4
2x2 - 9x + 4x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-9)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2x-9)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+2) • (2x-9)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(2x - 9) • (x + 2) = 0
Step 3 :
Theory - Roots of a product :
3.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
