Answer:

Not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x² - 6x - 7 = 0

The following equation can be solved correctly by factoring Thus,

x² - x + 7x - 7 = 0

x(x - 1) +7(x - 1) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 7) = 0

(x - 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0

x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

x = 1

Or

(x + 7) = 0

x + 7 = 0

x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

x = -7

Therefore, the solution would be x = 1 or x = -7

Lateena solution is therefore NOT CORRECT because she used a wrong method.

tangare [24]
There is a 1/2 chance that he will get at least one of the two features.

There are 3 x 4 = 12 possibilities. There are all 4 colors of each 3 sizes.

All 4 of the medium trucks have one of the features.

For the other 2 sizes, only the red truck will have one of the features.

There are 4 + 2 = 6 possibilities out of 12 for a chance of 6/12 or 1/2.

Please help me, I don't know how to do this...
Lunna [17]

Answer:

  A.  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  (x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2

  x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic

  x = -6 or +5

The solution is x = 5.

_____

Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.
