Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 12 to isolate the expression, x + 11

12(x + 11)/12 = 24/12

x + 11 = 2

Then, subtract 11 from both sides

x + 11 = 2

- 11 - 11

x = -9

12(+11)=24

So first, you are going to distribute.

12x+132=24

Now, subtract 132 from both sides of the equation.

12x+132=24
-132 -132

After you do that, you should end up with..

12x= -108

Now you can then divide both sides of the equation by the same term!

12x= -108
——- ——-
12. 12

Cancel terms that are both in the numerator and the denominator, then divide the numbers

And the answer is = −9

If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 + 3x – 7, then find a polynomial whose zeroes are and .

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$\frac{-\sqrt{65} - 3 }{4}, \frac{\sqrt{65} + 3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we cannot factor the expression, we must use quadratic formula: $x = \frac{-b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

Plug in a for 2, b for 3, and c for -7 and you should find your roots.

Julian has to read 4 articles for school. He has 8 nights to read them. He decides to read the same number of articles each nigh

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. He will have to read half an article per night

b. Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Part a:

We are given that:

number of articles to read = 4 articles

number of nights = 8 nights

To get the number of articles that he should read per night, we will simply divide the the number of articles by the number of nights

Therefore:

number of articles to read per night = $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$ articles per night

Part b:

Now, we know that he will read half an article each night from a total of 4 articles

To get the fraction of the reading assignment read each night, we will divide the number of articles read each night by the total number of assignments

Therefore:

Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Hope this helps :)

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,0) and (1,2).

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)

2 / 3

= 2/3

Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = 2/3(1) + b

2 = 2/3 + b

1 1/3 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line
