X and y
x=4/9 times y

y is bigger so
y-x=375
x=4/9y
y-4/9y=375
5/9y=375
times both sides by 9/5
y=675

the 2nd number is 675

True or false and if false what would be the correct term be?

vagabundo [1.1K]

It’s True.. you take the “extreme” variable from each proportion and cross multiply them before setting them equal to the product of the two “means” (which are just the other 2 numbers in the proportions).

The factorization of x2 + 3x – 4 is modeled with algebra

meriva

Option C: (x+4) and (x-1) are the factors of the equation

Explanation:

Given that the equation is $x^{2} +3x-4$

We need to determine the factors of the equation.

Splitting the middle term, we get,

$x^{2} +4x-x-4$

Grouping the terms, we have,

$x(x+4)-1(x+4)$

Let us factor out the term (x+4), we have,

$(x+4)(x-1)$

Thus, the factors of the equation are (x+4) and (x-1)

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
