Answer:
-125
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 × 5 = -5
-5 × 5 = -25
-25 × 5 = -125
1. 
These two numbers are: -5 and -5
-5 + (-5) = -10
-5 * -5 = 25
so...
(x - 5)(x - 5)
To find the roots set the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
2. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring -14 to the other side by adding 14 to both sides

Find two numbers that the sum is equal to 9 AND the multiplication of the numbers is 14
These numbers are 7 and 2
7 + 2 = 9
7*2 = 14
so...
(x + 2) (x + 7)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
3. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring 6x to the other side by subtracting 6x to both sides

In this equation you can factor out a 3 and an x:
3x (x - 2)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
3x = 0
3x/3 = 0/3
x = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Hope this helped!
(a) It is leaking 18 liters per minute.
Explanation : From 15 minutes to 20 minutes, your starting point at 15 is 590 liters and at 20 you have exactly 500. Next you have 25 which is now at 410. So it's leaking 90 liters every five minutes, so of course dividing the two (90 ÷ 5) you get 18.
(a)² it increases for about the same time that it would decrease of course.
(b) The vat started at 860 liters before they started draining it.
Explanation : Well, all it takes is just working backwards, add 90 liters to the liters at 15 minutes and deduct five minutes from 15. Do this process until you arrive at 0. It's simple
153 1/2 I thinkOr you have to convert it Good luck
