You don' need to grooup
what you do is
factor first term
2=1 times 2
(2x-)(x-)
they are both minus since middle term is negative
now factor other term and get the factors closest together
20=5 times 4

(2x-5)(x-4)
try it out
2x^2-5x-8x+20
2x^2-13x+20

faotred is
(2x-5)(x-4)

if you want to group you do

2 times 20=40
find what 2 numbers multiply to get 40 and add to get -13
numbers are -8 and -5
split it up
2x^2-8x-5x+20
group like factors
(2x^2-8x)+(-5x+20)
undistribute common factors
(2x)(x-4)+(-5)(x-4)
reverse distributive property ab+ac=a(b+c)
(2x-5)(x-4)

2x - 3y = 12<br> x = 4y + 1
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

x = 9, y = 2 is the solution of the given system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given set of equation is :

2 x - 3 y = 12

x = 4 y + 1

Now, from equation (2) we see that x = 4 y + 1.

Substitute the value of y from (2) in the first equation. we get:

2 x - 3 y = 12  ⇒ 2 (4 y + 1) - 3 y = 12

or, 8 y + 2 - 3 y = 12

or, 5 y = 12- 2  = 10

or, y = 10/ 5 = 2

or, y = 2

Now, x = 4 y + 1   ⇒ x  =  4(2)  + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9, or x = 9

Hence, x = 9, y = 2 is the solution of the given system.

I GIVE BRAIN LEST Which of the following is true about an
Dafna1 [17]
<h3>Answer:   D) It is affected by tides.</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

An estuary is where a river pours into the ocean. So that means fresh water mixes with salt water here. This allows us to rule out choices A and B.

According to NOAA, their site says "Estuaries are one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, so there is a great diversity of animals and plants that live there". In other words, a lot of plants and animals live here, so we can rule out choice C.

Choice D is the answer because tides do affect estuaries. This is simply because the ocean is pretty much right next to it, or attached to it. So it's expected that a high tide would cause the water level in an estuary to increase.

Find the following dates in the units given:
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a.  4 litres in 5 minutes (litres per minute)

4 litres per 5 minutes means 4/5 litres per 1 min = 0.8 litres per minutes

b. 12 litres in 45 minutes = 12/3 litres in 45/3 minutes = 4 litres per 15 minutes

60 minutes = 4*15 minutes

4 * 4 = 16 litres per hour

c. 800 kilowatt hours in 2 months

1 year = 12 months = 2*6 months

kilowatt per year = 800 * 6 = 4800 kilowatt per year

Hope this helped :3

One afternoon, 27 people withdraw $100 from an ATM. What was the overall change in the amount of money in the machine?​
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The change is a decrease of $2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Number of people = 27

Amount each person withdrew = $100

The total withdrawn amount by 27 people = 100 × 27

                                                                       = $2700

Let M be the amount of money in the ATM at the beginning.

As $2700 was drawn from the ATM, therefore, the change the amount of money in the machine will be:

  • M - 2700

It means the change is a decrease of $2700.
