5.-4

6. 1.66666

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Let's solve your equation step-by-step. ( x + 5 ) ( x − 2 ) = 0 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. x 2 + 3 x − 10 = 0 Step 2: Factor left side of equation. ( x − 2 ) ( x + 5 ) = 0 Step 3: Set factors equal to 0. x − 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0 x = 2 or x = − 5.        <—— this is for the first explanation

2. Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 6 x 2 + 13 x − 5 = 0 Step 2: Factor left side of equation. ( 3 x − 1 ) ( 2 x + 5 ) = 0 Step 3: Set factors equal to 0. 3 x − 1 = 0 or 2 x + 5 = 0 x = 1 3 or x = − 5 2 x = 1 3 or x = − 5 2

<———— this is for the second explanation

3.Step 1: Factor left side of equation. ( x + 1 ) ( x − 4 ) = 0 Step 2: Set factors equal to 0. x + 1 = 0 or x − 4 = 0 x = − 1 or x      

<———- this is for the third explanation

4.Step 1: Factor left side of equation. ( 2 x + 1 ) ( x − 3 ) = 0 Step 2: Set factors equal to 0. 2 x + 1 = 0 or x − 3 = 0 x = − 1 2 or x = 3

<—————- this is for the fourth explanation

5. Step 1: Add 16 to both sides. x 2 − 16 + 16 = 0 + 16 x 2 = 16 Step 2: Take square root. x = ± 16 x = 4 or x = − 4

<—————- this is for the fith explanation

6. Step 1: Add 25 to both sides. 9 x 2 − 25 + 25 = 0 + 25 9 x 2 = 25 Step 2: Divide both sides by 9. 9 x 2 9 = 25 9 x 2 = 25 9 Step 3: Take square root. x = ± 25 9 x = 1.666667 , − 1.666667

<—————- this is for the sixth explanation

Hope this helps :)

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
