Answer:
(x - 8)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 24
Consider the factors of - 24 which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 8 and + 3 , since
- 8 × + 3 = - 24 and - 8 + 3 = - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
x² - 8x + 3x - 24 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) ← factor out (x - 8) from each term
= (x - 8)(x + 3) ← in factored form
Answer:
Find the value of x if B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 2x + 9 and BC = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of each shirt bought by Brain = 14.50
Then
Cost of 2 shirts bought by Brain = 2 * 14.50
= 29
Cost of a pair of shoes = 29.99
Total amount spent by Brain before tax = 29 + 29.99
= 58.99
Percentage of sales tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of sales tax that needs to be [paid = (6/100) * 58.99
= 353.94/100
= 3.54
So
the total amount spent by Brain including tax = 58.99 + 3.54
= 62.53
