Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 17x +10 =0
(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0
We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10
They are positive since we have all positive terms
3*5 = 15+2 = 17
The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside
(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
That leaves the 2 on the inside
(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
Using the zero product property
3x+2 =0 x+5=0
3x = -2 x=-5
x = -2/3 x = -5
The answer to this equation would be k=2
Answer:315 bulbs planted and 7 left over
Step-by-step explanation:322/15 = 21.44
Roughly around 21 rows.
21 x 15 = 315 bulbs planted
322 - 315 = 7 bulbs left over
Answer:
a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-18 + 2a = 2(3a + 1)
Expand the bracket on the right
-18 + 2a = 2 x 3a + 2 x 1
-18 + 2a = 6a + 2
Add 18 to both sides
-18 + 18 + 2a = 6a + 2 + 18
2a = 6a + 20
Subtract 6a from both sides
2a - 6a = 6a - 6a + 20
-4a = 20
Divide both sides by -4
-4a/-4 = 20/-4
a = -5
