Which is the solution to this equation (X-2)(x+5)=18

x=-7  x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

(X-2)(x+5)=18

FOIL

x^2 +5x -2x-10 =18

Combine like terms

x^2 +3x -10 = 18

Subtract 18 from each side

x^2 +3x -10 -18 = 0

Combine like terms

x^2 +3x -28 =0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -28 and add to 3

7*-4 = -28

7+-4 = 3

( x+7) ( x-4) =0

Using the zero product property

x+7 =0  x-4=0

x=-7  x=4

amount of oatypop that contains the prize = 40%

amount   of oatypop which doesn't contain the prize = (100-40)=60%

probability that hannah will win a prize

    = s +f s +f f s+ff   f s+ff f f s+ infinity.where f= failure,s= success

=   or 60%

probability that hannah only has to buy 3 or less boxes before getting a prize= (s) and ( f s) and (ff s) and (f f f s)

        = = 87.04 %
