Answer:

(y - 2)(y - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term (- 8)

The factors are - 2 and - 6

since - 2 × - 6 = + 12 and - 2 - 6 = - 8, hence

y² - 8y + 12 = (y - 2)(y - 6)

The area of a rectangular pool is (14x^2+21x) square feet. If it is 7x feet long, what is the width, in feet?

guapka [62]

(14x^2+21x) = 7x(2x + 3)

A= L * W

but L = 7x so W = 2x + 3

answer: width is (2x +3) feet

If 12 men earn $810 in 10 days how much will 14 men earn in 8 days, if the daily wage is the same for each man

kogti [31]

1 man earns 810 / 12 = $67.5 in 10 days
by proportion 1 man will earn 0.8 * 67.5 = $54 in 8 days

So 14 men will earn 54 * 14 = $756 in 8 days.

Use the expression 9(7 + 2x) to answer the following:

oksian1 [2.3K]

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) The factors are (1) the constant coefficient 9 and (2) the binomial (7+2x).

Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) The first factor (multiplicand), 9, has one term. The second factor (multiplicand), (7+2x), has two terms (and is thus called a binomial).

Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) The only such coefficient is 2.
