5x + 6 + (-7x - 4)
5x + 6 - 7x - 4
-2x + 2
The shorter piece is 3/10 of the 1.5m long piece of wood.
1.5/10=0.15
0.15*3=0.45
The shorter piece is 0.45m or 45cm long.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to factor the given polynomial
We have this as;
6x^2 - 19x + 14
= 6x^2 -12x-7x + 14
= 6x(x-2) -7(x-2)
= (6x-7)(x-2)
6x^2-19x + 14 = (6x-7)(x-2)
We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:
19 + x < 42
Now, subtract 19 from both sides:
x < 23
Our number can be anything less than 23.
