Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 20:

1,20

2,10

4,5

4 and 5 combine to create 1

Answer:

(x+4)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can look at it by thinking of two numbers, that add up to -1 and multiply to -20. We can first do this by looking at factors of -20, which are 1, -20, -1, 20, 2, -10, -2, 10, and so on. After looking through it, we can notice that -5 and 4 added equal -1, and when multiplied equal to -20, so they work. So, we factor to (x+4)(x-5)

Eric's chocolate bar is 56% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 78 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Roun
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 43.7 g of chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

56% cocoa

mass of a chocolate bar = 78 g

Process

To solve this problem, use proportions and cross multiplication, consider the mass of the bar is 100%.

                          78 g of chocolate ------------------- 100%

                             x                          ------------------    56%

                                            x = (56 x 78) / 100

                                            x = 4368/100

                                            x = 43.68 g

-Round to the nearest tenth

             Mass of the chocolate = 43.7 g

The measure of one angle of an octagon is two times smaller that of the other seven angles. What is the measure of each angle?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> represent the measures of the seven same-size angles,

x/2 ----> represent the measure of the one that is "two times smaller."

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a polygon can be calculated as:

S=180^o(n-2)

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

In this case

n=8 (octagon)

substitute

S=180^o(8-2)=1,080^o

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

\frac{x}{2}+7x=1,080

solve for x

\frac{15x}{2}=1,080\\\\15x=2,160\\\\x=144^o

so

\frac{x}{2}=72^o

therefore

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees
