Answer:
b is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the second term 7x^2 - 8x - 12 into two terms
7x^2 + 6x - 14x - 12
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms
x(7x + 6) - 2(7x + 6)
Factor out the common term; 7x + 6
<u>(7x + 6)(x - 2) </u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8^2+5^2=c^2
64+25=c^2
89=c^2
c=
<-- this is the length of the rectangle at the bottom
2^2+()^2=c^2
4+89=c^2
c= <-- length of dotted line (diagonal)
Answer:
1. C
2. D
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Pattern A is adding by 2's (1 -> 3, 4 -> 6, 7 -> 9 and so on).
Pattern B is multiplying by 2's (2 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 8 and so on).
2.
If 0.25 gallons of paint = 24 ft^2, then 1 gallon will equal?
Set up an equation:
Variable x = area of ft^2 for 1 gallon of paint
0.25/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply
0.25 × x = 24 × 1
0.25x = 24
To make calculations easier, you can convert the decimal into a fraction: 0.25 = 1/4
1/4x = 24
Multiply both sides by 4
1x = 96
x = 96 ft^2
Check your work:
0.25/24 = 1/96
0.25 × 96 = 24 × 1
24 = 24
Correct
