Answer: The answer is 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
14. (2x - 1)(x + 7) = 0Using the zero factor property, we know that either the first or second terms (or both) must be equal to 0 if their product is 0. We can set each term equal to 0 to find the solutions:
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
15. To solve this equation, you first need to set it equal to 0:
Next, it can be factored:
Finally, we can solve just like we did above:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
16.
First, you can simplify by dividing each side by 4:
Now, set the equation equal to 0:
Next, factor:
Finally, find the solutions:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Answer: Bottom left corner
Angle DEC and Angle DEH
=============================================================
Explanation:
I recommend opening your favorite paint program, and using different colors to mark on the drawing as I have done below (see attached image). Note how angle DEC is in red and angle DEH is in blue. The two angles are adjacent, meaning they share the same ray (in this case, ray ED) and they form a straight angle.
Because they form a straight angle, or straight line, this means the two angles are supplementary. Supplementary angles always add to 180.
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply by 12 because to get rid of the fractions all terms should be divided by the LCM (ie the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 2, 4 and 3)
Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Therefore the fractions should be multiplied by 12
