Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
Answer:
y > -14
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(y+2) < 60
-5y - 10 < 60 (Expand the term on the left)
-5y < 70 (Bring the numbers to the right)
y > -14 (Divide both sides by -5. Note that the inequality sign changes as we are dividing by a negative number)
Hence Answer is <u>y > -14</u>
E and C. 2:5 and salt:pepper
So first we want to distribute. (#1)
So, using the distributive property, we can:
5 * 3x - 2y * 5 + 2x + 2 * 2y - 3 * 3x - 3 * 2y
or
15x - 10y + 2x + 4y - 9x - 6y
Now just combine like terms
8x -12y
So for #1 it should be a.
#2: 2x - 3 + 3x - 5
Combine Like Terms:
2x + 3x - 3 - 5
5x - 8
So it should be b.
