Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find two numbers that add to make the coefficient of x (in this case, -5) and that multiply to make the constant term multiplied by the coefficient of x^2 (in this case, -2 x 3 = -6)
Two numbers that work are -6 and +1
-6 x +1 = -6
-6 + -1 = -5
2. Split the middle term into the two numbers that you found.
3x^2 -6x +x -2 = 0
I've put the -6 on the left side because in our next step, when we factorise, it will be easier than having the numbers the other way around.
3. Factorise the left side by taking out common factors from each pair. The pairs I'm talking about here are '3x^2 and -6x', and 'x and -2'
3x (x-2) +1 (x-2) = 0
4. You now have two numbers both being multiplied by the term x-2. We can rearrange this equation to give us two brackets being multiplied by each other.
(3x + 1) (x-2) = 0
5. According to the Null Factor Law, if two terms are multiplied together and the result is 0, then one of those terms must be 0. Make both terms equal to 0 and solve each for x.
3x + 1 = 0 x-2 = 0
3x = -1 x = 2
x = -1/3
6. The solutions to this equation are x = 2 and x = -1/3

Answer:
Simple interest=$324 Total=2124
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple interest=6%
6% of 1800=108
108x3=324
1800+324=2124
1). $2,700 is (2,700/6,000) = 45% of 6,000.
It took 6 years to earn it, so it earned (45%/6) = 7.5% each year.
That's the simple-interest rate.

2). The investment earns 4.5% each year, so it earned 9% in 2 years.
The $1,150.65 is the 9% of the original investment. Call it V.
1150.65 = 0.09 x V .
Divide each side by 0.09 :
V = 1150.65 / 0.09 = $12,785 .

3). There are 18 marbles in the bag all together.
a). 8 of them are green. If you close your eyes and pull out 1 marble,
the probability that it's a green one is
8/18 = 4/9 = 44.4% .
b). If it was a red marble, and you put it in your pocket, then
there are only 17 in the bag now, and 8 of them are still green.
If you pull another one, the probability that it's green is
8/17 = 47.1% .

5). There are 10 marbles in the bag all together.
(The second sentence doesn't say anything, and doesn't mean anything.)
If you pull out a silver marble and put it in your pocket, then
there are 9 marbles in the bag, and 2 of them are orange.
The probability of pulling an orange marble now is
2/9 = 22.2% .
