Answer:
x = 3 . . . or . . . x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The factored form is ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0
The zero product rule tells you the solutions are the values of x that make the factors be zero:
x = 3
x = 4

Comment on factoring
When the leading coefficient is 1, the coefficient of the x-term is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors, and the constant term is their product. You can see this by multiplying out the generic case:
(x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x + ab
What this means is that when you're factoring, you're looking for factors of the constant that add up to give the coefficient of the x-term. Here, the x-term is negative and the constant is positive, so both factors will be negative.
12 = -1×-12 = -2×-6 = -3×-4
The sums of these factor pairs are -13, -8, -7. Clearly, the last pair of factors of 12 will be useful to us, since that sum is -7. So, the binomial factors of our equation are ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0

If the leading coefficient is not zero, the method of factoring is similar, but slightly different. Numerous videos and web sites discuss the method(s).
Answer:
-3/2,collinear.
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of PQ=(0-3)/(2-0)=-3/2
eq. of line PQ is
y-3=-3/2(x-0)
y-3=-3/2 x
or2y-6=-3x
or 3x+2y=6
if R(4,-3) lies on it,then
3(4)+2(-3)=6
12-6=6
or 6=6
which is true.
Hence points P,Q,R are collinear.
and line has aslope=-3/2
Answer:
ρ = 35% or 0.35
ρ with ^ = 
or equivalently 46%
Step-by-step explanation:
ρ represents the population proportion of the bus riders, with a monthly pass, who are students.
The population proportion is simply the percentage of the entire population with a particular characteristic. We have been informed that in a city, 35% of the bus riders with a monthly pass are students. This means that 35% of the whole population of bus riders with a monthly pass are students. Therefore, our ρ is simply 35% or 0.35.
ρ with ^ represents the sample proportion of the bus riders, with a monthly pass, who are students. This is a statistic or an estimator as it is normally used to estimate the value of ρ, the population proportion. It is calculated using the formula;
ρ with ^ = 
where n represents the size of the sample and x the number of individuals in the sample with a certain desired characteristic. We have been informed that;
in a random sample of 50 bus riders with monthly passes, 23 are students.
Using the above formula and the values given we have;
ρ with ^ = or equivalently 46%
It is either in the ones place or the hundred millions place
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
3x+9-2x+2=5x-25
Combine like terms:
x+11=5x-25
Solve:
x-x+11=5x-x-25
11=4x-25
11+25=4x-25+25
36=4x
Divide by 9:
x=9.
Hope this helps :D
