<span>-----------------------------------
Define x and y :
</span>-----------------------------------
<span>Let x be the points school x scored.
Let y be the points school y scored.

</span>-----------------------------------
<span>Construct equations :
</span>-----------------------------------<span>
School X has eight more points that school Y
x = y + 8

</span><span>School X has three times as many points as school Y.
x = 3y

</span>-----------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
-----------------------------------
x = y + 8 ------------------ (1)
x = 3y     ------------------ (2)
<span>
Sub (2) into (1)

3y = y + 8
2y = 8
y = 4

</span>-----------------------------------
<span>Find school x and y :
</span>-----------------------------------<span>
School y has 4 points.
School x has 4x3= 12 points

</span>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the completely factored from of 9x2+24x+16
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

(3x+4)(3x+4) is factor of given expression.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression 9x^2+24x+16

Formula: a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

First we write each term as perfect square as formula.

\Rightarrow 9x^2+24x+16

\Rightarrow (3x)^2+2\cdot 3x\cdot 4+4^2

Using formula , a=3x and b=4

\therefore (3x)^2+2\cdot 3x\cdot 4+4^2=(3x+4)^2

Now we write same number two times.

Hence, (3x+4)(3x+4) is factor of given expression.

Metallic silver has a density of 10.50. what is the mass, in g, of a silver ingot that is 28.0 cm long, 4.90 cm wide, and 3.60 c
frozen [14]

Answer:

5190 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the volume:

28.0 cm × 4.90 cm × 3.60 cm = 493.92 cm³

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = M / V

Solving for mass:

M = D V

Substituting values:

M = (10.50 g/cm³) (493.92 cm³)

M = 5186.16 g

Rounding to three significant figures, the mass is 5190 g.
