Answer:
58,187.5 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
1 cm : 25 m
7 cm = 25 × 7 m
7 × 25 = 175 m
13.3 × 25 = 332.5 m
area = 332.5 m × 175 m
The probability of flipping 1 head when flipping 3 coins is 3/8.

Answer:
(x - 8)(2x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor a polynomial of the form
ax² + bx + c,
follow these steps:
1) Multiply ac together.
2) Find 2 factors of ac that add to b. Call these factors p and q.
3) Break up the middle term of the polynomial into px + qx.
4) Factor by grouping.
Now let's follow the steps above with your problem.
You are given the polynomial
2x² - 13x - 24,
so a = 2, b = -13, and c = -24
1) Find ac.ac is the product 2(-24) = -48
2) Now we need to find 2 factors of -48 that add to b, -13.
I know that 48 = 3 × 16, so if we use -16 and 3 for the two numbers, we have
-16 + 3 = -13
and -16 × 3 = -48.
3) Now we break up the middle term of the polynomial, -13x, into -16x + 3x.
The polynomial is now
2x² - 16x + 3x - 24
4) We factor the polynomial by grouping. To factor by grouping, you factor a common factor out of the first 2 terms and factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.
2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 =
= 2x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8)
We now see the common factor of x - 8, so we factor that out.
= (x - 8)(2x + 3)
Answer: (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer:
x = 1 or 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>
Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.
What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.
