The factors of given expression are: -5 and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$4x^2+17x-15$

Making pairs for the mid-term 17x by factoring the product of co-efficient of 4x^2 and 15

$4x^2+20x-3x-15$

$= 4x(x+5) - 3(x+5)$

$=(4x-3)(x+5)$

Now

$4x-3 = 0\\4x = 3\\x = \frac{3}{4}$

$x+5 = 0\\x = -5$

Hence,

The factors of given expression are: -5 and 3/4

If you know the area of a square.. how do you find out the length of one side, formula to use?

Reptile [31]

A square has equal sides. If you know the length of one side just multiply the length x4 and you'll get your answer.
For example: If I had a square. One side of the length is 6cm, so I have to multiply 6x4 which is 24cm. My perimeter is 24cm.

Hope that helped:D

Answer:

2 4/5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = height of fire hydrant

7/20 = x/8

cross-multiply:

20x = 56

x = 56/20 or 14/5, which is 2 4/5

Help me find x please

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x = 14°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that these angles are supplementary.

Set up an equation

x + 96 + 5x = 180

6x + 96 = 180

subtract 96 from both sides

6x = 84

x = 14

Thus, we have our answer
