Problem # 1

Not Factored: (5x^2 - 13x - 6)
Factored: (5x + 2 )(x - 3)

There is no real "work" to be shown for this, you can see that
1) Seperating 5x^2 into 5x and x will get you the equation in the form:
 (5x     ) (x      )  = 5x^2 +

2) To complete this factor you need to guess which two numbers will add together to give you - 13x and multiply to form -6 (from the original unfactored equation). The numbers that will do this are 2 and 3

3) You can plug in negative or positives of those numbers to make sure they give you the exact results you need.

For example testing -2 and 3 you will get: (5x - 2) (x + 3 ) = 5(x^2) - 2x + 15x - 6 = 5x^2 +13x - 6.  This is NOT the same as the unfactored equation. So you know -2 and 3 is the wrong choice. Choosing 2 and -3 will give you the answer instead.

As i said, there's no actual "work" to show this, you have to make guesses and try to factor it.

Problem # 2

Not Factored: 4x^4 - 28x^3 + 48x^2
Factored: 4x^2 (x^2 - 7x + 12) =
                4x^2 (x  - 3) (x - 4)

To solve this, you factor out the 4x^2 from the entire equation. Then you can further factor the quadratic equation by seperating x^2 into (x    )(x    ) and guessing for which numbers will add to -7x and multiply to 12

Find the value of x please and thank you

Given:

In triangle DEF, HG is parallel to DF.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In triangles DEF and GEH,

\angle DE F\cong \angle GEH          (Common angle)

\angle EDF\cong \angle EGH          (Corresponding angle)

\Delta DE F\sim \Delta GEH             (By AA property of similarity)

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.

\dfrac{DE}{GE}=\dfrac{DF}{GH}

\dfrac{9+(x+5)}{x+5}=\dfrac{12}{6}

\dfrac{x+14}{x+5}=2

x+14=2(x+5)

x+14=2x+10

Isolating variable terms, we get

x-2x=-14+10

-x=-4

x=4

Therefore, the value of x is equal to 4.

It would take Alexandria 8 months to earn the money. 

125-20= 105 monthly earnings after personal expenses 
800/105= 7.6 which rounds to 8.

8x105= 840
