First you have to put like terms together:
bf+af+be+ae
Now you factor the first two terms and then the two last terms:
f(b+a)+e(b+a)
Now you factor even further. By putting what is in parentheses by what is outside the parentheses:
(b+a)(f+e)
What you got is correct as mine is too. I hope this formula helps for future problems:
ax+bx+ac+bc=x(a+b)+c(a+b)
=(a+b)(x+c)
It must be an odd number because 3^7 is also shown as:
3x3x3x3x3x3x3
Which equals:2,187
2,187 is an odd number because the last number is a 7 which is odd.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If a square has 4 sides and the perimeter is 12x + 52, you have to divide 12x + 52 by 4 to get the length of a single side
12x / 4 = 3x
52 / 4 = 13
3x + 13
V=B+15
V+2B=180
Therefore:
3B+15=180
B=55
V=70
Check:
V+2B=180
70+2(55)=180
70+110=180
180=180. Checks.
