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)

Graph ∆KLM with vertices K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2). Graph ∆K'L'M' with a scale factor of 2. What are the coordinates of the

olasank [31]

Answer:

The coordinates of the new vertices are:

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to dilate a shape by 2, you can simply multiply the coordinates of the orignal triangle each by 2 to find the new coordinates of the new vertices.

K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2)

K'(2*2,2*2), L'(0*2,- 1*2), and M'(-3*2,2*2).

Now become...

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

You can now graph ∆K'L'M' using these coordinates.

If A's income is 25% less than that of B, then how much percent is B's income more than that of A?

saul85 [17]

Let's say that B makes $100.

Then A makes $75.

So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?

This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100

75x = 10000

x = 133.3

So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
