X² - 24x + 144

What are two numbers that multiply to 144 but add up to -24?

The answer is -12

Write out the factorization.

(x - 12)(x - 12) = x² - 24x + 144

Solution: C) (x - 12)²

First you have to find the factors that 24 and 144 have in common. The factors must equal to 24 and also multiply to 144. The factor they have in common is 12. 12+12=24 and 12 * 12 =144.

Next, just substitute the numbers in the equation and you get.

(x-12)(x-12)

Simplify.

C. (x-12)^2

If you did distributive property, you would get the original equation.

Y = -3x +10 3x +y = 5 substitution method

spayn [35]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x +10

3x +y = 5

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

Let every instance of y in the second equation be replaced with -3x+10

3x+ (-3x+10) = 5

Combine like terms

10 =5

This is never true so there are no solutions

(These are parallel lines with the same slope but different y intercepts)

Suppose you know the perimeter of n octagons arranged as shown. What would you do to find the perimeter if 1 more octagon was ad

kogti [31]

As shown in the figures given :

For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units [As can be seen in the figure]

For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units [since 1 side is common ]

For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units [since 2 sides is common ]

If one more octagon is added

then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units [since 3 sides will be common ]

a certain shade of blue is made by mixing 1.5 quarts of blue paint with 5 quarts of white paint. If you need a total of 16.25 ga

Law Incorporation [45]

we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

$\bf \cfrac{blue}{white}\qquad \stackrel{ratio}{1.5:5}\qquad \cfrac{1.5}{5}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}\implies \cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1.5\cdot 2.5}{5\cdot 2.5}\implies \cfrac{3.75}{12.5}\qquad \qquad \boxed{\stackrel{blue}{3.75}~:~\stackrel{white}{12.5}}$
