Explanation: 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 We can Split the Middle Term of this expression to factorise it. In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like a x 2 + b x + c , we need to think of 2 numbers such that: N 1 ⋅ N 2 = a ⋅ c = 3 ⋅ 3 = 9 and, N 1 + N 2 = b = 10 After trying out a few numbers we get: N 1 = 9 and N 2 = 1 9 ⋅ 1 = 9 , and 9 + ( 1 ) = 10 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 = 3 x 2 + 9 x + 1 x + 3 = 3 x ( x + 3 ) + 1 ( x + 3 ) ( 3 x + 1 ) ( x + 3 ) is the factorised form for the expression.

Answer:
B. SAS
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given diagram, it would be observed that each side of the bigger triangle are multiplied by a factor of 
to give the values of each corresponding sides of the smaller triangle. But the included angle of the two triangles are the same.
Therefore, the reason why the triangles are similar is because of side-angle-side (SAS) relations. The correct option is B.
Answer:
Part A: Kimberly
Part B:
Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.
Let x = time
y = distance
k = speed = y/x
Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx
Therefore:
✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5
y = 4.5x
✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):
Speed (k) = y/x
k = 10/2
k = 5 miles per hour
Equation for Kimberly would be:
y = 5x
Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.
Part B:
For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x
Thus:
y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles
For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x
Thus:
y = 5*5 = 25 miles
