Answer:
x = -1/2, x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Written in standard form, the equation is ...
2x² -13x -7 = 0
We observe that factors of (2)(-7) that have a sum of -13 are -14 and +1. Rewriting the middle term using these numbers, we have ...
2x² -14x +x -7 = 0
2x(x -7) +1(x -7) = 0 . . . . . factor pairs of terms
(2x +1)(x -7) = 0 . . . . . . . . factored form
The solutions are the values of x that make these factors zero.
2x +1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1/2
x -7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
The solutions to the quadratic are x = -1/2 and x = 7.

The only way to solve if it is equal to something
assuming that the teacher wanted you to make it equal to zero do
0=-3x^2-21x-54
remember if we can do
xy=0 then assume x and y=0
so factor
0=-3x^2-21x-54
undistribute the -3
0=-3(x^2+7x+18)
remember 0 times anything=0 so
x^2+7x+18 must equal zero
use quadratice formula which is
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=
x^2+7x+18
a=1
b=7
c=18
x=
x=
x=
i=√-1
x=
the zerose would be
x=

Answer:
The answer would be 40!
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimating ~ rounding
I would round 24% (20%), and 289 (300).
using the formula:
= %/100,
I'm looking for "IS"
I multiply 20 (just 20, no percent) by 200 = 4000.
Then I divide by 100 to get the "IS".
That's how I got my answer!
Hope this helps!
