All you have to do is make and simplify a fraction. In this case, there are 6 friends going into 4 pears, so the fraction is 6/4. Then we can simplify that because they are both divisible by 2. So if we divide both by 2, our fraction becomes 3/2. Then we make that into a mixed number, with 3 going into 2 once with 1 left over. That means the answer is 1 1/2.

The area of a rectangle painiting is given by the trinomial x^2-9x-36. what are the possible dimensions of the painting ? use fa
bagirrra123 [75]
<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)
</span>

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -9 </span>.

<span><span>     -36   +   1   =   -35</span><span>     -18   +   2   =   -16</span><span>     -12   +   3   =   -9   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -12  and  3 
                     <span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-12)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+3)  •  (x-12)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>

Determine the value for x in the picture below.<br> Please help me
Alex787 [66]

Given:

The figure of a right angle triangle.

A line segment intersect the two sides and parallel to third side of the triangle

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

According to basic proportionality theorem, if a line segment intersect the two sides and parallel to third side of the triangle, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

Using basic proportionality theorem, we get

\dfrac{8}{20-8}=\dfrac{6}{x}

\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{6}{x}

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{6}{x}

On cross multiplication, we get

2\times x=6\times 3

2x=18

x=\dfrac{18}{2}

x=9

Therefore, the value of x is 9.
