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)

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your system is:

$x + 3y = 4$

$3x - 5y = 8$

Then make x the subject in the first equation to get:

$x = 4 - 3y$

Put this equation into the second equation to get:

$3(4 - 3y) - 5y = 8$

$12 - 9y - 5y = 8$

$- 9y - 5y = 8 - 12$

$-14y = - 4$

$y = \frac{ - 4}{ - 14} = \frac{2}{7}$

This means that:

$x = 4 - 3 \times \frac{2}{7}$

$x = 4 - \frac{6}{7} = \frac{22}{7}$

4 divided by 457. Please list the steps

exis [7]

You find out how many times 4 goes into 4 and get 1 then you find out how many times 4 goes into 5 and get 1 but you subtract 5 minus 4 and get 1 then bring down the 7 to get 17 then find out how many times 4 goes into 17 which is 4 times because 4 times 4 is 16 and you do 17 minus 16 and get 1 then add a decimal and bring down the 1 to get 10 then find out how many times 4 goes into 10 and get 2 subtract and get 2 bring down the zero turn it into 0 then you get 20 then find out how many times 4 goes into 20 and get 5 and 4*5=20 so 20-20 is 0 so your answer is 114.25

Brrunno [24]

Answer:129

Step-by-step explanation:

630/5 is 126. Add 126, two numbers below it, and two above it. So, 124+125+126+127+128=630. The next page is 129
