(04.05) Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 125% more time doing homework this week. Is he correct? Show your work to justify your decision. PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRANLIEST (IF ANSWER IS CORRECT) PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK

Evan is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer, we can use the formula A=PxW

A=Part, P=Percentage, W=Whole

We can fill in the numbers we know and leave blank (with the variable) the numbers we want to find out

In this scenario, we want to find out if 25 is 125% of 29

So we can use this formula and do the equation like this:

A=1.25x20

This gets us to 25

So Evan is correct!

Hope this helps and please award brainliest if possible!

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.
