Step-by-step explanation:
x= -1 or x=3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:
N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12
AND
N1+N2=b=−1
After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4
3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1
x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12
x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0
(x+3)(x−4)=0
Now we equate the factors to zero.
x+3=0,x=−3
x−4=0,x=4
If there are 4 dogs and they each eat 2 pounds of food each day. Then, all together there are 8 pounds of food getting eaten each day. You will want to divide 456 by 8.
456/8= 57 days.
456 punds of dog food will last 57 days for 4 dogs.
Answer:
y = 3/4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation of a line can be written in slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Let's plug in what we know.
The slope is 3/4.
y = 3/4x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the point (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
-2 = 3/4(4) + b
To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(4)
-2 = 3 + b
Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.
-5 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = 3/4x - 5
This is your equation. It has a slope of 3/4, and passes through (4, -2)
Hope this helps!
1. false because they have the same slope and y-intercept so they have infinite number of solutions
2. true
