The answer should be 6 (B.)
50% chance of winning and 50% chance of losing.
Answer:
c - a = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the parabolas intersect we can equate them, that is
2x² - 1 = - x² - x + 1 ← subtract terms on right side from terms on left side
3x² + x - 2 = 0
Consider the factors of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 2 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are + 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 3x - 2x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x + 1) - 2(x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (x + 1) from each term
(x + 1)(3x - 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x = 
Since c > a, then
a = - 1 and c = 
Thus
c - a =
- (- 1) =
+ 1 =
+
= 
To perform the correct operation as to subtract numbers, make sure the denominators are the same, and then one can then subtract and remove a smaller number from the larger one.
This same method also holds true for adding fractions together as well.
Another way to subtract fractions is to convert them from fraction form to decimal form and then align the decimal points and subtract the values.
Answer:
Options (B) and (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Farmland owned by Dwight = 1600 acres
He wants to divide his farmland into four equal parts.
So the area of each part of the land will be =
= 
This expression can be written in different ways,
1600 ÷ 4

Therefore, Options (B) and (C) will be the correct options.
