Answer:
Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that
•21x=3·7·x;
•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.
Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.
Thus,
21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).
Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.
Answer:
528
Step-by-step explanation:
So naturally at first sight for this question we would think -->
Oh 3 consecutive integers = 66 --> 66/3 = 22 (n-1), (n+1) so --> 21, 22, and 23.
But no. At second look it is the sum of 3 consecutive integers is greater than 66. So we find the next possible pair since it says smallest possible product.
We get the set (22, 23, 24). => Multiply the least and greatest integers together respectively 22 and 24 which amounts to => 528
And thus, we have out answer of 528
Hope this helps!
It depends if the 12 spice jars are all different.
If they are:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9 spaces)
12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4
12 possibilities for first one, 11 for second, etc...
Multiply out to get:

Answer:
2 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If x² - 8x = -12
Step 1
We find x by solving
x² - 8x = -12
We equate to zero
x² - 8x + 12 = 0
We factorise
x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0
x - 6 = 0, x = 6
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x = 6 or 2
Step 2
What is x - 4?
When x = 6
= 6 - 4 = 2
When x = 2
= 2 - 4 = -2
Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2
Answer:
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
Step-by-step explanation:
Mariana workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x - 12 = -12
Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead
-6x = 0
x=0
Correct workings:
-3(2x - 4) = -12
-6x + 12 = - 12
-6x = -12 - 12
-6x = -24
x = -24/-6
x = 4
