Solve the quadratic by factoring.<br> x^2-5x-31=5
torisob [31]

Answer:

x =  - 4\: or \: x =  9

Step-by-step explanation:

make one side equal to zero:

{x}^{2}  - 5x - 36 = 0

find two factors that multiply to -36 and add to -5 (-9 & 4)

{x }^{2}  - 9x + 4x - 36 = 0

factorise

x(x - 9) + 4(x - 9) = 0

(x + 4)(x - 9) = 0

solve for x

x =  - 4 \: or \: x = 9

Suppose that a dog, a goat, and a bag of tin cans are to be transported across a river in a ferry that can carry only one of the
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The task is explained in detail below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that  a dog, a goat, and a bag of tin cans are to be transported across a river in a ferry that can carry only one of these three items at once (along with a ferry driver).  

The driver will first transport the goat to the other shore and then return empty. Then they will take a bag of tin and transport it to the other shore, and then they will return with the goat to their original place.  

Then he will leave the goat there and take a dog and carry it to the other shore and then return empty.

And eventually they will take the goat and transport it to the other shore.

The scale of a map is 6 km = 4 mi. What is the length on the map if the actual is 40.1<br> miles.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

60.15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 km on the map represents 4 mi on land, then we'd get the answer by using the relation

6 km -> 4 mi

x km -> 40.1 mi

Where x km is the length on the map we're looking for. If we cross multiply

6 * 40.1 = 4x

240.6 = 4x

x = 240.6/4

x = 60.15 km.

That is the length we're looking for
