$\dfrac{2x^3-2x^2-12x}{3x^2-6x}=\dfrac{2x\big(x^2-x-6\big)}{3x\big(x-2\big)}=
\dfrac{2\big(x^2-x-6\big)}{3\big(x-2\big)}=\\\\\\=\dfrac{2\big(x^2-3x+2x-6\big)}{3\big(x-2\big)}=\dfrac{2\Big[x\big(x-3\big)+2\big(x-3\big)\Big]}{3\big(x-2\big)}=
\dfrac{2\big(x-3\big)\big(x+2\big)}{3\big(x-2\big)}$

Use the given figure to find the length of x.

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using concept of Pythagoras theorem.

Pythagoras theorem states that in a right angled triangle, if "a" and "b" are sides containing the right angle and h is hypotenuse then the relation between them is $a^2 + b^2 = h^2$

_________________________________________

Given in the problem

a = 24

b = x

h = x+12

applying Pythagoras theorem

$24^2 + x^2 = (x+12)^2\\=> 576 + x^2 = x^2 + 24x + 144\\=>576 = x^2 + 24x + 144 - x^2\\=> 576 = 24x + 144 \\=> 576 - 144= 24x\\=> 432 = 24x\\=> x = 432/24 = 18$

for (x+12)^2 we have used formula $(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$

Thus, value of x is 18.

Carlos received 84 votes. That was 3 of every 7 votes cast in the class president election. How many votes were cast?

Step2247 [10]

336 votes total.

if he got 84 votes 3/7 so you take 84 times 4 (i got four by subracting 3 from 7 and got the remaining votes) and you will get 336 votes. hope this helps! :)
