Answer:

(x+4)(x−6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring x2−2x−24

x2−2x−24

The middle number is -2 and the last number is -24.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -2

Multiply together to get -24

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try 4 and -6:

4+-6 = -2

4*-6 = -24

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with 4 and -6 to get...

(x+4)(x-6)

What is the value of 6(2b-4) when b =5
Sindrei [870]

Answer: The value of 6(2b-4) is 36.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression: 6(2b-4)

To find the value of 6(2b-4) at b= 5, we need to substitute the b=5 in the expression, we get

6(2(5)-4)\\=6(10-4).......[\text{solve parentheses}]\\=6(6)\\=6\times6=36

\\\Rightarrow6(2(5)-4)=36

Therefore, the value of  6(2b-4) is 36, when b=5.

Answer:  The cost of one rose bush is $7 and the cost of one shrub is also $7

Step-by-step explanation:

The situtation can be represented by the systems of the equations.

10x + 4y  =  98   x in this case is the cost of  one rose bushes

9x + 9y =  126     y  is the cost of one shrub.  

Solve the system of equation using the elimination method.

10x +4y = 98

9x + 9y = 126     eliminate the y variable so you will have to multiply 9 on top                                          and -4 down.

9(10x +4) = (98)(9)

-4(9x + 9y) = 126(-4)

You will now have the new two systems of equations

90x +36y = 882

-36x +-36y = -504    Now add the equations

0  + 54x = 378      

        54x = 378

  x= 7

Now we know that the cost of one rose bush is 7 so we will plot it into one of the equations and solve for the cost of one shrub.

90(7) +36y=882

630 +36y = 882

-630            -630

    36y = 252

   y = 7

Check:  10(7) + 4(7)= 98

              70  + 28 = 98

             98= 98  

so one rose bush is actually 7 dollars the same as 1 shrub.

A card is picked at random from the following set. ​ ​What is P(9) ? Write your answer as a percentage in the box given below.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The (not mentioned in the question) set is: 6 7 8 9.

There are 4 total outcomes and only 1 favorable outcome, then the probability to pick a 9 is:

P(9) = favorable outcome/total outcomes

P(9) = 1/4 = 0.25 or 0.25*100 = 25%
