Answer:

x = 6 , -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use foil method

(3x -2)(x + 1) = 3x*x + 3x*1 + (-2)*x + (-2)*1

                   = 3x² + <u>3x - 2x</u> - 2   {Combine like terms}

                    =3x² + x - 2

(3x -2)(x + 1) = 18x + 4

3x² + x -2 = 18x + 4

Subtract 18x  to both sides

3x² + x - 18x - 2 = 4

3x² - 17x - 2    = 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

3x² - 17x -2 -4 = 0

3x² - 17x - 6 = 0

Sum = -17  

Product = (-6)*3 = -18

Factors = 1 , (-18)                 {1*(-18)=-18  ; 1 +(-18) = -17}

3x² - 18x + x - 6 = 0

3x(x - 6) + (x -6) = 0

(x - 6)(3x + 1) = 0

x - 6 = 0          ; 3x + 1 = 0

   x =  6          ;         3x = -1

                                  x = -1/3

x = 6 , (-1/3)

A number is increased 20%.By what percent the new number is decreased so that the number restores the original value?​
Molodets [167]

Answer:

You have to give the number by which the 20% is increased in order to cross multiply and divide by a hundred to find the missing % of the decrease. Otherwise, you would simply subtract 20% from 100%, which seems unlikely to be the answer. We need more information.

1) The cost of 3-D movies tickets is $24 for 2 tickets, $36 for 3 tickets and $48 for 4 tickets.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) Yes, i think it does represent a proportional relationship because the prices all go up by 12$.

b) The constant of proportionality is 12.

c) The equation would be 12(t) t= tickets idrk how else to put the equation feel free to correct me if im wrong.

D) the graph would look like : on the x axis would go up by 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on, and on the y axis, count by 12's. (ex. 12,24,36,48)

E) The cost of 7 tickets would be 84$

What is the answer for question 1 and how
quester [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is an isoceles triangle (both legs are equally long). and AB is its baseline.

OC is now a median for ABC splitting the angle at C and AB in half.

so, we have 2 right-angled triangles : OAC and OBC.

the half-angles at C are 42/2 = 21°.

the angles at A and B are 90°.

and the half-angles at O are 180 - 90 - 21 = 69°.

remember that the sum of all angles in a triangle must always be 180°.

AB are the heights of both of these triangles.

the single height is sin(69)×7 = 6.535062985... cm

and so,

AB = 2× height = 13.07012597... cm.
