The first thing you need to do is multiply the a and c values. in this problem a is 3 and c is 4. 3x4 is 12. now you need to find the factors of 12 and find a set that add to the b value (-8). -2 + -6 is -8 and -2 x -6 is 12. now you replace -8x with -2x and -6x. now you need to factor by grouping. so first is 3x^2 -6x. you factor out the gcf between the two. in this case it us 3x. so now you have 3x(x-2). now you need to factor the other side of the equation (-2x +4). for this problem you need to factor out a -2, rather then 2, because it needs to be the same as the first half. so you factor out the -2 and get -2(x-2). then you just combine the two so you get (3x-2)(x-2). hope this helped. i also attached a picture of the work. :)

Answer:

32 ÷ 8 + 1 __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 3² - 1

4² __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 4 • 2

3(x - 4 + x) __IS EQUAL__ 3x - 4 + x

when x = 4

15 ÷ (1 + 2) ___IS NOT EQUAL TO_ 15 ÷ 1 + 2

3(x - 4 + x) __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 3x - 4 + x

when x = 2

A pollster uses a computer to generate 500 random numbers and then interview the voters corresponding to those numbers. identify

Bond [772]

Answer: D. Simple Random Sampling

Step-by-step explanation: When selection is made or based on chance which is equal or the same for all members within a population. In the scenario described above, there is no prior shuffling, arrangement or segregation of members within the population into groups or subgroups, rather the interviewed voters were chosen at random directly from within the larger population based on equal chance. Therefore voters already have their numbers, then using a random number generator, voters whose number corresponds were interviewed is a clear scenario of simple Random Sampling.

The regular price of a space invader game is $52 but it is on sale. the discount is $13.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

This is a 25% discount.

We can restate this problem as:

$13 is what percent of $52?

First, let's call the percent we are looking for "p" or p%.

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore p% can be written as p100.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Putting this all together we can write this equation and solve for p while keeping the equation balanced:

$13=p100×$52

$13=$52p100

$13×100$52=$52p100×100$52

$1300$52=$52p100×100$52

$1300$52=$52p100×100$52

130052=p

25=p

What is the slope of the line between (3,-4) and (-2,1)?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 1)

m = $\frac{1+4}{-2-3}$ = $\frac{5}{-5}$ = - 1
