Answer:

x = -8/3 or 7/2

Solution:

6x^2 - 5x = 56

6x^2 - 5x - 56 = 0

6x^2 -21x +16x - 56 = 0

3x(2x-7) + 8(2x-7) = 0

(3x + 8)(2x-7) =

3x + 8 = 0 or 2x - 7 = 0

x = -8/3 or 7/2

Answer:

$2x+50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

As given, lets assume the amount of money Sam has in saving be "x".

Now, finding saving of each person given.

Writing the algebric expression of each´s saving amount.

we know, Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

∴ Hector saving= $\$2x$

Also, Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

∴ Ted´s saving= $\$(2x+100)$

Next finding Gina´s saving

As given, Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

∴ Gina´s saving= $\$ (2x+100)-\$ 50$

Opening parenthesis and solving it.

⇒ Gina´s saving= $\$ 2x+\$50$

Algebric expression of Gina´s saving= $2x+50$

Three friends each create 4 bags of starter bread dough. After ten days, each of those four bags is then divided into four more

adell [148]

If you add together all of the bags in total, you would have 24 bags (8+8+8), and the 3 friends will have four bags each in total. After another ten days you will have 96 bags of dough (24 x 4). After another ten days there will be 384 bags of dough, so at this point there will be 192 bags of dough available, assuming that the friends continue with the same method.
