Answer: Min = (0.5, −6.25)
Step-by-step explanation: Standard form:
x2 − x − 6 = 0
Factorization:
(x + 2)(x − 3) = 0
Solutions based on factorization:
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x1 = −2
x − 3 = 0 ⇒ x2 = 3
Two composite numbers that have 8 as a factor are 16 and 24.
Answer:
wilma is 22.5 mph
fred is 25.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Time:40 minutes, or 2/3 hours
Speed:
Fred:x+3
Wilma: x
Distance:32 miles
2/3(x+x+3)=32
2/3(2x+3)=32
1 1/3x+2=32
4/3x=30
x=22.5
wilma is 22.5 mph
fred is 22.5+3= 25.5 mph
Answer:
B) 11 green pepper plants
So we know that the decimal place will move one right. Well basically let's assume she could have bought these expressions:
x 10 x 3.50 = 35.00
x 9 x 3.50 = 31.50 + 3.75 = 35.25
x 8 x 3.5 = 28 + 3.75 x 2 = 35.5
x 7 x 3.5 = 24.5 + 3.75 x 35.75
We know that there is a pattern. See how the cents goes .25 up each time. So we know she'd buy 6 reams of white because (6 x 3.5 = 21) + (4 x 3.75 = 15) = 36.
