Here are some factors of 20!
1x20=20
2x10=20
4x5=20
5x4=20
Therefore there are 4 factors of 20.
Solve for x:
x^2 + 4 x + 25 = 0 I ssume that's the notation.
Subtract 25 from both sides:
x^2 + 4 x = -25
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 + 4 x + 4 = -21
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 2)^2 = -21
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 2 = i sqrt(21) or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x + 2 = -i sqrt(21)
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = i sqrt(21) - 2 or x = -i sqrt(21) - 2
Answer:
(0.5, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = 13 → (1)
4x - y = - 2 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y
12x - 3y = - 6 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
14x = 7 ( divide both sides by 14 )
x = 0.5
Substitute x = 0.5 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (1)
2(0.5) + 3y = 13
1 + 3y = 13 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
3y = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 4
Solution is (0.5, 4 )
Matt would get about $4 and 90 cents back from the clerk, since 10 dollars minus $5 and 10 cents equals $4 and 90 cents.
