16 = 2/5
16 ÷ 2 = 2/5 ÷ 2/1
8 = 1/5
8 * 5 = 1/5 * 5
40 = 5/5
You started the party with 40 brownies

Let

x--------> total number of brownies made for the party

we know that

\frac{2}{5}x=16

Solve for x

\frac{2}{5}x=16\\ \\2x=5*16\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40\ brownies

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

40\ brownies

Help plz...................................
N76 [4]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

These are similar triangles, so the ratio of their sides is the same for each side.

AB = 8  and  BD = 10

So, the ratio is 8:10   or   4:5

Because the triangles are similar....

The ratio of AC:CE  is also  4:5

12:15 = 4:5

So, 12 is the answer!

We want to find the zeros of this polynomial p(x)= ( x^2-1)(x^2-5x+6)
Scrat [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let p(x) = 0 , that is

(x² - 1)(x² - 5x + 6) = 0

Factorise each factor

x² - 1 ← is a difference of squares and factors as (x - 1)(x + 1)

x² - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3), thus

(x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

The zeros are x = ± 1, x = 2, x = 3
