Answer: x = 4; x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The directions specify to solve by factoring
x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0
To factor, find two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to 20
-5 and -4 work
-5 + (-4) = -9
-5 * -4 = 20
(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0
x = 4, x =5
Well. You start with two rabbits, and it triples every month, so:
0 months: 2 rabbits.
1 month: 2*3 = 6 rabbits.
2 months: 6*3 = 18 rabbits.
3 months: 18*3 = 54 rabbits.
(3x - 2) - (3x+ 6)=
3x - 5) + (3x + 6)
3x - 5 + 3x + 6
Combine the 'x'-terms: 3x + 3x = 6x
Combine the numbers: -5 + 6 = 1
The expression is equivalent to . . . . . 6x + 1
