Yolanda and her three brothers shareda box of 156 toy dinosaurs. about how many dinosaurs did each child get?

we need to divide the number of toy dinosaurs, 156, by the number of brothers, 4:

in order to estimate, we can use compatible numbers:

156 ÷ 4

  ↓

160   ÷ 4 = 40        

the correct answer is a).

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
