You can't "solve" it because you have no relational operator, i.e. =, <, >, , or . I will then presume that you want to factor it.

Multiply the lead coefficient by the constant term: 15 times 2 is 30.

Perform the prime factorization of 30: 2 X 3 X 5. So the two-integer factors of 30 must be 6 X 5, 10 X 3, 15 X 2, or 30 X 1. Examine these pairs for a set that sums to the first degree term coefficient, i.e. 31. Looks like 30 and 1, right?

Rewrite the 1st degree term as a pair of terms that sum to



Factor by grouping:

Let's say that it takes hours for the new machine to do the job by itself. Then it must take hours for the old machine by itself. Then we can say that the new machine can do of the job in one hour, and the old machine can do of the job in one hour. Since we know that it takes 12 hours for both machines working together, we know that the two machines working together can do of the job in one hour. All of that leads us to:



Solve for , then calculate

Your problem doesn't make sense. How can you travel at only 3 times the speed but get there 4 times as fast? Impossible regardless of the distance traveled.

Linear-equations/717716: You want to fence in a rectangular area, but first you must determine the dimensions of the area.
1.Different pets need to have different areas. For example, a horse needs more space than a dog. Determine an area that is appropriate for your pet.
2.Define the shape of the rectangular area by establishing a relationship between the length and width of the rectangle. For example, L = 2W + 5, or W = 3L – 4. Be sure to include the appropriate units (inches, feet, yards, miles, or meters).
3.Using the fact that A = LW, together with the relationship defined in step 2, eliminate one of the variables to set up a quadratic equation.
4.Solve the quadratic equation using any of the techniques learned in this unit. The solution(s) will be one of the dimensions; use step 2 to find the other.
5.Now determine the perimeter so that you will know how much fencing to buy.

Use the slope formula to calculate the slopes of the four segments WX, XY, YZ, and ZW.



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

If the slope of WX is equal to the slope of YZ and the slope of XY is equal to the slope of ZW, then the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel to each other and then by definition the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

If the slope of WX (and YZ, presuming a parallelogram) is the negative reciprocal of the slope of XY and/or ZW, then the adjacent sides are perpendicular and the quadrilateral is at least a rectangle.

Use the distance formula to calculate the measure of segments WX and XY:



If two adjacent sides are equal in measure, then given perpendicular adjacent sides the quadrilateral is a square and a rhombus. If not perpendicular adjacent sides then just a rhombus.

Since the boundary line does not go through the origin, use the origin, (0,0), as a test point. Substitute the coordinates of the test point into your original inequality. In this case, you would write 0 < -6. If that is a true statement, shade in the side of the line that CONTAINS the test point. If it is not a true statement, shade in the side of the line that does NOT CONTAIN the test point. In the event you are trying to evaluate where to shade a graph where the boundary line does pass through the origin, pick some other point that is NOT on the boundary line. I recommend something with small integer coefficients.

Travel_Word_Problems/717667: Two vehicles start moving towards each other from cities Y and F with constant speed and they meet 5 hours later. If the distance between two cities is 750 miles, what is the minimum speed of the faster vehicle in miles per hour?

Answer 440383 by solver91311(17077) About Me  on 2013-02-22 13:03:42 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!


In order to cover 750 miles in 5 hours, the sum of the two vehicles' speeds must be 150 miles per hour. Presuming there is a "faster" vehicle, then the two vehicles cannot be traveling at the same speed and the faster one has to be traveling at more than half of the required 150 mph. The faster vehicle has to be going more than 75 miles per hour. The problem with the question as it is worded is that you cannot exactly specify a "minimum" speed for the faster car. That is because no matter how close to 75 mph that you pick a speed, so long as it is larger than 75, I can find a number even closer that is still larger, and then you could find one closer still...and so on ad infinitum. For example, let's say you claim the minimum speed to be 75.1 mph. Then I claim that it is actually 75.01 mph, to which you respond, "no it is 75.001". We could go on like that forever. Further, you cannot solve the problem by claiming that 75 mph is the minimum speed because that would mean that both vehicles would be going the same speed and there would not be a "faster" vehicle.

Which is to say:



Are you asking this to answer a math class problem or are you really running a business? I only ask because if you are really running a business and your credit processor is charging you 8 and a third percent, you need to find a new credit card processor. Even if you are keying in the number (as opposed to swiping the card) and your transactions are non-qualified you shouldn't be paying more than 4.5%. If you are swiping and the transactions are qualified, it should be more in the range of 1.5 to 2%.
