You should start with an equation.
The 'x' represents the week.
so now, we have to subtract 125 from the total amount which is 245.
now we have
to find 'x', we must divide 15 on each side
we are now left with
that means Sierra will have 8 weeks until she has enough money to buy the bike
Answer:
160 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
That is 125 - 0.20 * 125
= 125 - 25
= 160 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0
2x²+6x-20
2(x²+3x-10)
the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)
(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)
2(x²+3x-10)
2(x²-2x+5x-10)
2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2)) group like terms
2(x+5)(x-2)
(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)
constant = 2 cannot be zero
the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)
(x+5)=0 => x= -5
or
(x-2)=0 => x=2
(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)
thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!
(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)
The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
Answer:
-1 3/4 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 1/2= 1/2x+1/2x+x
Combine like terms
-3 1/2 = 2x
Change to an improper fraction
- ( 2*3+1)/2 = 2x
-7/2 = 2x
Multiply each side by 1/2
-7/2 *1/2 = 2x* 1/2
-7/4 = x
Changing to a mixed number
-4/4 -3/4 =x
-1 3/4 =x
