Answer:

18(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! :)

In order to factor 36x - 54, you must find the common factors of it.

So, we must ask ourselves : what number goes into BOTH 36x & -54?

Our answer is going to be 18.

So, let's ask ourselves a couple more questions :

How many times does 18 go into 36x?

How many times does 18 go into -54?

36x ÷ 18 = 2x

-54 ÷ 18 = -3

Therefore, 18 goes into 36x 2 times while 18 goes into -54 3 times.

So now that we know that, simply take 18 out like so :

18(2x - 3)

This is our answer because when multiplied by 2x, 18 turns into 36x. In addition, when multiplied by 18, -3 turns into -54.

Hope I helped! :)

Answer:

9 (4x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't have a common factor but you have a common divider: 9

so the answer is:

9 (4x - 6)

[ZA WARUDO] stops time and throws 200 knives at Jotaro Kujo. Then he adds one more and summons a ROAD ROLLER DA And smashes jota

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

169 knives

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

ZW threw 200 knives at Jotaro, then adds one more. This makes 201 knives, initially.

However, the RRD subtracts 32 from 201, making it 169 knives that ZW threw.

201 - 30 - 2 = 171 - 2 = 169 knives

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 50, 60,72,... Find the 8th term.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

179.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence :

50, 60, 72,..

The sequence given is a geometric sequence :

For a geometric sequence ;

ar^(n - 1)

a = first term

r = a2 / a1 = 60 / 50 = 1.2

The 8th term ; n =8

a8 = ar^(n - 1)

a8 = 50*1.2^(8 - 1)

a8 = 50*1.2^7

a8 = 50*3.5831808

a8 = 179.15904

a8 = 179.159 (nearest thousandth )

H(x) = x^2 + 1 k(x) = x – 2<br> (h + k)(2)=?

likoan [24]

First we will compute the h+k and then multiply the result by 2.
To add polynomials, we add terms whose variables are alike, for example:
we add the coefficients of x^2 together, the coefficients of x together and so on.

Therefore:
h + k = x^2 + 1 + x - 2 = x^2+x-1

Now, we will multiply this answer by 2 to get the final answer:
2(h+k) = 2(x^2+x-1) = 2x^2 + 2x -2
