Check the picture below
notice, the length cannot be a negative value.. so is not -17
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor the original expression:
As we can see, D is the same as above. Eliminate D.
Go through each of the answer choices.
A:
This is equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate A.
B:
This is again equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate B.
C:
This cannot be simplified and it is not equivalent to what we have previously. C is not the equivalent expression.
Answer: -5, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
27 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals
Both animals have a total of 66 legs
Let a represent the number of chicken
Let b represent the number of cows
a + b= 30........equation 1
Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as
2a + 4b= 66........equation 2
From equation 1
a + b= 30
a = 30-b
Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2
2a + 4b= 66
2(30-b) + 4b= 66
60 - 2b + 4b= 66
60 + 2b= 66
2b= 66-60
2b= 6
b= 6/2
b= 3
Substitute 3 for b in equation 1
a + b = 30
a + 3=30
a= 30-3
a= 27
Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
-35x = -105
divide -105 by -35 to get x by itself
x = 3
The answer is false because the real answer would be 3
