Answer:
Inequality Form: x < − 16
Interval Notation: ( −
8 , − 16 )
Given that:
(x+2)(2x-5)=54
We have:
Using the quadratic formula, this is approximately 5.66, so rounded to the nearest whole number, our answer is 6.
So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.
for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:
so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %
Hey there!☺
Equation
−(2x+5)+14=22 Simplify both sides
−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute
(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms
-2x + 9 = 22
-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
-2x = 13
-2x/-2 = 13/-2
-13/2 Add the negative to 13
x = -13/2
Hope this helps!
