By moving the signs he actually changed the number itself. He changed -6 from a negative to a positive and 5 from a positive to a negative. Both equations give different answers.
Hopefully this helps :)
X² - 7x + 10 = 0
Let's factor out the equation first.
x² - 7x + 10
x -2
x -5
This factoring of (x-2)(x-5) fit the equation.
(x-2)(x-5) = 0
One of the factors must equal 0 as to equal zero.
Either x - 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The two answers are x = 2 or x = 5. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x=0, - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+9x=0
x(x+9)=0
x=0 or x=-9
Answer:
the third side is 40 m long
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its three sides, and they give you what that value in meters is (120 m)
Your are given the length of two of them: 30 m and 50 m, and need to find the third one (let's call it "x" for this unknown side)
Now set the following equation:
Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3 --> replace these with the info you know
120 m = 30 m + 50 m + x --> add 30 m and 50 m obtaining 80 m
120 m = 80 m + x --> now solve for x (isolate the x on one side) by subtracting 80 m from both sides
120 m - 80 m = x --> perform the subtraction 120 m - 80 m = 40 m
40 m = x
Which tells us that the third unknown side has a length of 40 m
The midpoints are (8,3) and (6.5,6).
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Midpoint formula = ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)
(x1,y1) = (5,2)
(x2,y2) = (11,4)
Midpoint = ((5+11)/2 , (2+4)/2)
⇒ ((16/2) , (6/2))
⇒ (8,3)
(x1,y1) = (3,8)
(x2,y2) = (10,4)
Midpoint = ((3+10)/2 , (8+4)/2)
⇒ ((13/2) , (12/2))
⇒ (6.5,6)
