The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8
The missing factor is (a -1) I believe. If you foil (5a + 9)(a - 1) you would get 5a^2 + 4a - 9.
Answer:
B. (2 + 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
18 + 45 = 63
The prime factors of 63 = 3*3*7
So 63 is a multiple of 7.
The answer is (2 + 5) (=7).
