Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need it in factorized form to get x.

If the quadratic equation can be divided by a-2 the first part is:

(a-2)

Now to get a², the a must be multpilied by itself. So

(a-2)(a)

To get -10, -2 must be multiplied by 5. So:

(a-2)(a+5)

we can expand to get x

a² + 5a - 2a -10

a² + 3a - 10

a² + ax - 10

x = 3

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2 (x - \frac{3x}{2}) = 2 (4 - x) + 10

x − 2 × \frac{-x}{2} =2(4−x)+10

x−(−x)=2(4−x)+10

x+x=2(4−x)+10

2x=2(4−x)+10

2x=8−2x+10

2x=−2x+18

2x+2x=18

4x=18

x = \frac{18}{4}

x = \frac{9}{2}

Pls help !!!!! i'll mark brainliest

Answer:

Last year there were 550 bison in the heard and this year it is 10% larger.

10% is also 10/100 or 0.10

To find 10% of the heard last year

550 x.0.10 = 55. To find the number in the heard this year add 550 (last year) + 55 (10% growth) = 605 or,

to find how many there are now last years heard size was 100% of the heard or 1.00. To find any percent more add it to 1.00 and multiply by the starting amount.

550 x 1.10 = 605

For the second example.

If there are 550 bison in the heard this year, and this year was a decrease of 10% from last year we can express last year's number like this.

550 = (x - (x * 0.10)) simplify;

550 = 1x - 0.10x

550 = 0.90x

Divide both sides by 0.90

x = 611.11 but it's hard to have 0.11 of a bison so realistically 611 bison last year. Subtract 10% or 61 and you indeed have 550 this year.

The radius of a circle is 4.3 inches. Using the formula A ≈ 3r2, what is the approximate area of the circle?
Vaselesa [24]
Area = (Pi)(Radius)^(2)

so

A = π(4.3)<span>²
A = </span>π(18.49)
A =  58.088 in/sq

(There should be a Pi button on your calculator)
