Use the distributive property to factor the expression. 5a^2b^2 - 30ab

1 answer:

8 0

Step 1: extract common factor 5ab

$5a^2b^2-30ab=5ab(ab-6)$

The result is already factored into its prime polynomials so the answer is:

5ab(ab-6).

You can verifiy that when you expand the product using the distributive property you ge the original polynomial 5a^2b^2 - 30ab.

Using the linear combination method, what is the solution to the system of linear equations 7x-2y=-20 and 9x+4y=-6 ?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(x, y ) = (- 2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

7x - 2y = - 20 → (1)

9x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

multiply (1) by 2 making the coefficients of y equal and opposite

14x - 4y = - 40 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(9x + 14x ) + (4y - 4y ) = (- 6 - 40 )

23x = - 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = - 2

substitute x = - 2 into either (1) or (2) for y

(2) - 18 + 4y = - 6 ( add 18 to both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

solution is (- 2, 3 )

The store is selling lemons at $0.58 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough l

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$4.64

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

$\frac{1}{2}$ cup = 8 tablespoons

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. You need 8 tablespoons for one lemon pie, so you need $8\div 2=4$ lemons for one pie and $4\times 2=8$ lemons for two pies.
