Yes the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3 which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational then the equation is factorable. Please mark a good rating and brainlest

Both169 and 9 are perfect squares.

The square root of 169/9 is rational.

Six plus 13/3 is a rational number, and 6 minus 13/3 is also a rational number.  

If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational, then the equation is factorable.

How many groups of 1/5 are in 4​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to figure out what 1/5 is as a decimal

5/5 = 1, so 5 groups of 1/5 equals 1

Multiply this by 4, 20 groups of 1/5, or 20/5 = 4

Now we confirm this

1/5=0.2

4/0.2=20

So it is true

Hope this helps!^^
