Answer:
Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have
Step-by-step explanation.
Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x
Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.
Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.
Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.
Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.
We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
To answer this we would need the expressions given.
The percent to 300 out of 12 is 144
2times1 because 2.75 take the 75 off and 1.25 take the 25 off so you multiply 2 and 1 so 2times1 equals 2
