We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
Answer:
w=4
Step-by-step explanation:
adding a negative is like subtracting so w=11-7
Answer:
a)E=.05t +34
b)$54
c)$600
Step-by-step explanation:
a) he gets 5% of tips out of all tips people gave to the restaurant , 5% --> .05 (as a decimal) --> this is "t"
he earns an extra $34 a night of work. --> this is the constant
E= --> the total earned that night
E=.05t +34
b) simply plug in the total tip into the equation
E=.05(400) + 34
E=$54
--> he earned $54 that night
c) since we are given the total earned that night, we now plug in for y. in this case we plug "$64" for y
we find t, which is tip the restaurant was given
--> 64 = .05t +34
-34. -34
30= .05t ---> divide by .05 each side
t= $600
the restaurant was tiped 600 dollars and Alun was paid 64 dollars that night of work
hoped this helped:)
Let y represent the yellow and x the red.
Y= 3x-5 is your equation
