Answer:

(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² - 15x + 7

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 8 × 7 = 56 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 8 and - 7

Use these factors to split the x- term

8x² - 8x - 7x + 7 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(x - 1) - 7(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

= (x - 1)(8x - 7) ← in factored form

The missing factor is (x - 1)

Which subtraction expression

Bond [772]

If you would like to know which subtraction expression has the difference 1 + 4i, you can calculate this using the following steps:

a. (–2 + 6i) – (1 – 2i) = –2 + 6i – 1 + 2i = –3 + 8i

b. (–2 + 6i) – (–1 – 2i) = <span>–2 + 6i + 1 + 2i = </span>–1 + 8i

c. (3 + 5i) – (2 – i) = 3 + 5i – 2 + i = 1 + 6i

d. (3 + 5i) – (2 + i) = 3 + 5i – 2 – i = 1 + 4i

The correct result would be <span>d. (3 + 5i) – (2 + i).</span>

Answer: x = 6

Formula: $(x+5)=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that an area of a triangle is half of a rectangle.

The bottom side must equal 11, since if the figure was a rectangle, the area would be multiplied by 2, giving us 44.

What minus 5 equals 11?

So x must equal 6.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

50 legs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dog has 4 legs, a cat has 4 legs, a giraffe has 4 legs, a duck has 2 legs, and a chicken has 2 legs. So, we want to calculate $2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)+3(2)$ , right?

Wrong! It's a trick question! The chickens aren't on the floor, so they don't count. So, we really want $2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)$ .

We multiply it out to get $8+16+4+20+2$ .

We add these up to get $50$ .

So, our answer is $\boxed{50}$ legs.
