How do i factor the coefficent out of a variable, such as 2.4n+9.6 and -6z+12

1 answer:

4 0

You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).

2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:

2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]

Also: -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ] Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).

Triangle ABC IS an isosceles triangle AB=BC m

True [87]

Answer:

<em>The measure of angle A is 73°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Isosceles Triangles</u>

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with exactly two congruent sides. The angles the congruent sides form with the third side are also equal.

The triangle ABC is isosceles and AB congruent with BC. The angle at B measures 34°.

The other two angles are congruent, i.e. their measures are the same. Since the internal angles of a triangle sum 180°:

$2*m\angle A=180^\circ - 34^\circ =146^\circ$

Thus:

$m\angle A=146^\circ /2=73^\circ$

The measure of angle A is 73°

Area of a triangle is given by the formula A=1/2 bh. The area of the triangle shown to the right is 56 sq. units. Find its base

Westkost [7]

Given

base=2x+6
height=x+4

and
area=56 square units

56=1/2 times (2x+6) times (x+4)
times bot sides by 2
112=(2x+6)(x+4)
expand
112=2x²+14x+24
divide both sides by 2
56=x²+7x+12
minus 56 both sides
0=x²+7x-44
factor
waht 2 numbers mulitply to get -44 and add to get 7
11 and -4
0=(x-4)(x+11)
set to 0

x-4=0
x=4

x+11=0
x=-11
false, measures can't be negative

x=4

height=x+4
height=4+4=8

base=2x+6
base=2(4)+6=8+6=14

x=4 and base=14 and height=8

If 15/x is equal to 75/100 what is x

Hatshy [7]

15/x=75/100
15/x=3/4
times 4x both sides
4*15=3x
60=3x
divide both sides by 3
20=x
