AB = BC, so 3x-2 = 2x+4.  Also, BC = CA, so 2x+4=x+10.

Solve this system of linear equations:

3x-2 = 2x+4
2x+4=x+10 => x=6

Check:  Does AB=BC?  Does AB=BC?

Does 3(6)-2 = 2(6)+4?  Does 16=16?  YES.
Does BC = CA?  Does 2(6)+4 = 6+10?  YES

x = 6 (answer)

Teresa, Eric, and Ryan sent a total of 99 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Eric sent 3 times as
faust18 [17]

I'll use t for the messages Teresa sent, e for messages Eric sent, and r for messages Ryan sent.

Therefore we have, t+e+r=99.

From the text we also know:

e=3r ; r=t+6

If we substitute in the original equation we get:

t+3(t+6)+t+6=99; By simplifying it we get

5t=75 , therefore t=75/5=15.

Since Teresa send 15 messages,Ryan sent 6 more then here, so he send 21. Eric sent three times the

messages Ryan sent so he sent 63 messages. If we add them together 15+21+63, we get the total of 99 messages.

The binomial (2x+6) is a factor of a quadratic expression 10x^2+18x-36 what is the other factor of this expression?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The other factor of the polynomial is (5x -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the other factor of this binomial expression

To find the other factor, we simply proceed to divide the polynomial by the binomial

That would be;

(10x^2 + 18x - 36)/(2x + 6)

= 5x - 6
