Step-by-step explanation:
First break it down
42= 40 & 2
27= 20 & 7
- Then times 40 & 20 to get 800
- 20 x 2 to get 40
- 40 x 7 to get 280
- 7 x 2 to get 14
Now add them all together.
800 40 1080
+280 +14 + 54
---------- ------- ---------
1080 + 54 = 1134
71.96 and 93.74 are the answers
A bell curve describes a random distribution where at either end is a low amount with the middle representing a higher amount of points.
So at either ends are “extremes” were someone scored really low or really high. The middle presents the average where most people will score
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.
