so if you take away 1/4 from 3/4 you will get 2/4
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2
so the male elephant weights 1/2 a ton more than the female
Answer:
C) 2 (2x + 3) (3x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
12x² + 22x + 6
2 ( 6x² + 11x + 3 )
2 [ 6x² + 9x + 2x + 3 ]
2 [ 3x ( 2x + 3 ) + 1 ( 2x + 3 ) ]
2 ( 2x + 3 ) ( 3x + 1 ) ⇒ C

Santiago's statement is not correct
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a
a = -31/42.25
a = -124/169
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.
Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).
All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."
1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.
2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.
4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.
5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero
