Answer:

b = 0 OR b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off with, we know that this must be a quadratic equation because there's a "^2".

Firstly, we have to bring everything over to one side of the equation. This means we have to add 3b to both sides, as we want the right-hand side to be 0.

b^2 = -3b

+3b +3b

b^2 + 3b = 0

Secondly, we have to factorise. We need to see what number goes into both "b^2" AND "3b".

That is "b".

b^2 + 3b = 0

factor out b

b(b + 3) = 0

Thirdly, we have to use the Null Factor Law to find out what b equals. The Null Factor Law states that if an equation equals 0, then one of the terms must either be 0, or the negative of the other number.

Hence, there are two answers.

b = 0

b = -3

Exterior of scalene triangle sides are 25 and 15 and x. solve x.

Lyrx [107]

-- All three sides of a scalene triangle have different lengths.
So 'x' can't be 15 and it can't be 25.

-- 'x' must be 10 or more in order to reach between the ends
of the 25 and the 15.

-- 'x' must be less than 40 in order for the 25 and the 15 to reach
between its ends.

So the value of 'x' must satisfy these conditions:

<em>0 < x < 15</em>
<em>15 < x < 25</em>
<em>25 < x < 40</em>

Any number that satisfies these conditions is an acceptable value for 'x'.

I need help on the question that are circled

FrozenT [24]

That is way too much questions for one sitting. If you really struggle that much, download this app called photomath. You take a picture of one of the questions and then it instantly solves it and shows the work so you know how to do it.

For 16-25 however, you would need to rewrite your questions on a blank piece of paper with the variables substituted in. So let's say:

a + b² - (c-2).

You would need to rewrite it as the following in order for the app to solve it.

12 + 9² - (4 -2)

In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?

Studentka2010 [4]

The median, upper and lower quartiles of the data set are:

Lower Quartile = 46

Median = 49

Upper Quartile = 90

<h3>What is the Median?</h3>

The center value or middle value of a data set is the median.

<h3>What are the Upper and Lower Quartiles?</h3>

Upper quartile (Q3) is the center or middle data point of the second half of a data set.

Order the data set given as:

32, 46, 49, 49, 77, 90, 96

Lower Quartile = 32, (46), 49, 49, 77, 90, 96 = 46

Median = 32, 46, 49, (49,) 77, 90, 96 = 49

Upper Quartile = 32, 46, 49, 49, 77, (90,) 96 = 90

An additive inverse of a number (x) is a number which when added to x results in being 0.

The given problem is -3 - (-6)

The additive inverse of -6 is 6

-3 -(-6) = -3 + 6 = 3

Communities property: 6-3 = 3

The answer is:

Because -3+6 is an equivalent expression, the answer is 3
