If a factor is x+4, that means that the coefficient of x^2 (the number in front of it, which would be 1) and that 20 should be divisible by 20. Now, if you divide 20 by 4, you would get 5, and 1/1 = 1. So, the 2 factors you have is

(x+4)(x+5)

When you FOIL, you would get
x^2+9x+20, which means

b=9

What is the least common denominator for adding the fractions 4/15, 1/12, and 3/8
il63 [147K]
I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)

so we find the factors and include all of them so like this

15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2

so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120

the LCM is 120

so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120

add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120

Jan had x color pencils in her box and shares them equally with her friend,Talia.Her brother gives her 2 more color pencils.Jan
liberstina [14]

3 = X/2 + 2

1 = X/2

2 = X

Jan had 2 pencils to start off with. She gave half (1 pencil) to Talia. Her brother gave her 2, which means she ends up with 3.
