Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor: Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
The first term is 15a^2, its' coefficient is 15
The middle term is - 58a, its' coefficient is - 58a
The last term is "The Constant" is +48
Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 15(48) = 720
Find two factors of 720, whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -58

Factoring: 15a^2 - 58a + 48 = 0
Factor left side of equation:
(5a - 6)(3a - 8)
Set fractions equal to Zero
5a - 6 = 0 or 3a - 8 = 0
Answer : a = 6/5 = 1.200
or a = 8/3 = 2.667
Hope that helps!!!!
Let first number = x then
we have x and 9x and x + 100
x + 9x + x + 100 = 606
11x + 100 = 606
11x = 506
x = 46
so the three numbers are 46, 146 and 414 Answer
Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
drawing a triangle with each side correspondent to each of its measurements all you are doing is dividing the side that you would want to find its scale factor of, which in this case you would take AB and DE and have AB/DE dividing that and getting 0.4 as its scale factor.
