Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a quadratic equation meaning it has 2 factors and since one of it has root -5, the first factor is (n + 5),

So, we have (n + 5)(n + a) = n^2 + an + 5n + 5a

Thus, by comparison,

n^2 + (5 + a)n + 5a = n^2 - 8n - 65 = 0

5 + a = -8

5a = -65

a = -13

Thus, the other factor is (n -13) and root is 13

3x+-6+2 > = 5x -8......can someone please solve this

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you referencing ">=" as greater than or equal to, follow the solution below:

Solve:

3x - 6 + 2 ≥ 5x - 8

Combine like terms.

3x - 4 ≥ 5x - 8

Subtract 5x from both sides.

-2x - 4 ≥ -8

Add 4 to both sides.

-2x ≥ -4

Divide both sides by -2, while flipping the inequality as well since you're dividing by a negative number.

x ≤ 2

Your answer would be x ≤ 2

x = 85 degrees and

y = 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The angle for a straight line is 180°. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. These two statements are required to solve this problem.

The angles of x° and 95° are on a single straight line.

So $x^{\circ} + 95^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}.$

$x^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} - 95^{\circ} = 85^{\circ} .$

So the angle of x is 85°.

Step 2:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.

So $50^{\circ} + x^{\circ} + y^{\circ} =180^{\circ}.$

$50^{\circ} + 85^{\circ} + y^{\circ} =180^{\circ}.$

$y^{\circ} =180^{\circ} - 135^{\circ}, y = 45 ^{\circ}.$

So the angle of y is 45°.
