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

coldgirl [10]
You have to divide your total by 4 to figure out what 1/4 of the price would be. That makes 1/4 of the price $19,631.15  So really you could just do $78,524.60 x2 to figure out the 2x  which is $157,049.20 and then do $19,631.15 x3 to figure out the 3/4 amount which is $58,893.45.  Then add the two numbers to get $215, 942.65

If triangle DEF is an isosceles triangle with DE is congruent to EF, find x and the measure of each side
Rudik [331]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

DE = 8x - 13

EF = 5x + 17

DF = x + 21

Also,

DE = EF

which means that,

8x - 13 = 5x + 17

8x - 5x = 17 + 13

3x = 30

x = 30/3

x = 10

Now,

DE = 8x - 13 = 8×10 - 13 = 80 - 13 = 67cm

EF = 5x + 17 = 5×10 + 17 = 50 + 17 = 67cm

DF = x + 21 = 10 + 21 = 31cm
