X2+7x-8=0
product=-8 times 1 = -8
sum= 7
{-1, 8}
x2-1x+8x-8=0
x(x-1)+8(x-1)=0
x+8=0 or X-1=0
x=-8
Answer:
3.3 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
(2 3/4)/x = (3 1/3)/4
(11/4)/x = (10/3)/4 (cross multiplication)
(11/4)*(4/1)=44/4=11
11/(10/3) = ( 11/1 ) * (3/10) = 33/10 = 3.3 gallons
A positive number
This is because you must add to get from a negative number in order to get to a positive number.
Remark
There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.
Solve
A
Multiply by 2
x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides
1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides
1.6 - 0.2 = x
1.4 = x
Circle A
B
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = 1.4
Circle B
C
Remove the brackets.
4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides
4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.
12 = -2x Divide by - 2
12/-2 = x
x = - 6 Don't circle C
D
I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2/3
x = 1.4
Circle D
Answer:
x = -30 so it's D
