Mathematics

levacccp [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the unknown number.

According to the information provided in the exercise, 10 is the result of the subtraction of "x" and -5.

Based on this, you can write the following equation:

x-(-5)=10

To find the value of "x" you must remember the multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-

Then:

x-(-5)=10\\\\x+5=10

Finally, subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, you get:

x+5-(5)=10-(5)\\\\x=5

Alisiya [41]
The x-axis intercepts are the roots of the polynomial. So, the roots are x = - 2, x = - 1 and x = 3.

Therefore, the polynomial can be factored as:

(x - (-2)) * ( x - (-1) ) * (x - 3) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 3).

Answer: (x + 2) (x + 1) (x - 3)

If a hose is filling a swimming pool at a rate of 20 liters per minute, how long will it take to fill the 3,600-gallon pool?
Cloud [144]

Answer: the correct answer is 11 hours, 21 seconds and 3738 fractions of a second.

Step-by-step explanation:

An American gallon has 3.78541 liters.

3,600 gallons are 13,627.46 liters since 3,600 gallons * 3.78541 liters per gallon= 13,627.46 liters

We will need 681.3738 minutes to fill the pool since 13,627.46 liters divided by 20 liters per minute = 681.3738 minutes

681.3738 minutes is 11 hours and 21.3738 seconds since 11*60 minutes + 21.3738 minutes = 660 minutes + 21.3738 seconds = 681.3738 or 681.3738 divided by 60 minutes ( 1 hour ) is 11 hours and 21.3738 seconds.
