The answer is -60=60

Simplifying
s2 + -17s + -60 = (s + -5)(s + -12)

Reorder the terms:
-60 + -17s + s2 = (s + -5)(s + -12)

Reorder the terms:
-60 + -17s + s2 = (-5 + s)(s + -12)

Reorder the terms:
-60 + -17s + s2 = (-5 + s)(-12 + s)

Multiply (-5 + s) * (-12 + s)
-60 + -17s + s2 = (-5(-12 + s) + s(-12 + s))
-60 + -17s + s2 = ((-12 * -5 + s * -5) + s(-12 + s))
-60 + -17s + s2 = ((60 + -5s) + s(-12 + s))
-60 + -17s + s2 = (60 + -5s + (-12 * s + s * s))
-60 + -17s + s2 = (60 + -5s + (-12s + s2))

Combine like terms: -5s + -12s = -17s
-60 + -17s + s2 = (60 + -17s + s2)

Add '17s' to each side of the equation.
-60 + -17s + 17s + s2 = 60 + -17s + 17s + s2

Combine like terms: -17s + 17s = 0
-60 + 0 + s2 = 60 + -17s + 17s + s2
-60 + s2 = 60 + -17s + 17s + s2

Combine like terms: -17s + 17s = 0
-60 + s2 = 60 + 0 + s2
-60 + s2 = 60 + s2

Add '-1s2' to each side of the equation.
-60 + s2 + -1s2 = 60 + s2 + -1s2

Combine like terms: s2 + -1s2 = 0
-60 + 0 = 60 + s2 + -1s2
-60 = 60 + s2 + -1s2

Combine like terms: s2 + -1s2 = 0
-60 = 60 + 0
-60 = 60

Solving
-60 = 60

Jim had 92 more marbles than Sam. After Sam gave Jim 18 marbles, Jim had twice as many marbles as Sam. How many marbles did Jim
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

238

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of marbles Sam has be x, then

Jim has x + 92 ← 92 more than Sam

After swap of 18 marbles

Sam has x - 18 and sam has x + 92 + 18 = x + 110

Jim now has twice as many as Sam, that is

x + 110 = 2(x - 18)

x + 110 = 2x - 36 ( subtract x from both sides )

110 = x - 36 ( add 36 to both sides )

146 = x

At first Jim had 146 + 92 = 238 marbles

Lissie set a goal to save $320 for a new computer. So far she has saved $112. What percent of her goal has Lissie saved so far?
Mariulka [41]
These are false. Tami will need to work 11 weeks to get to her goal. To find out this problem, first take out the 100 from the 320 which then gives you 220.  Then divide 220 by 20 which gives you 11. 1 is wrong because Tami does not have to work more than 21 weeks to get to her goal. 2 is also wrong because Tami does not need to save more that 11 weeks to get to her goal, she has to work 11 weeks only.
