Answer:

She subtracted 3.4 on the left and added 3.40 on the right

Step-by-step explanation:

3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27

Subtract 3.40 from each side  

3.40 -3.40+ 0.85 x = 5.27-3.40

.85x = 5.27 - 3.40

.85x =1.87

Divide by .85

.85x/.85 =1.87/.85

x = 2.2

Factor 9y2 - 12y + 4.<br><br> (3 y - 2)(3 y + 2)<br> (3 y - 4)( y + 1)<br> (3 y - 2) 2
lozanna [386]

Answer:

(y - 2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

9y² - 12y + 4 ← is a perfect square of the form

(ax - b)² = a²x² - 2abx + b²

Compare like terms with 9y² - 12y + 4, thus

a² = 9 ⇒ a = 3

b² = 4 ⇒ b = 2 and

- 2ab = - 2 × 3 × 2 = - 12

Thus

9y² - 12y + 4 = (3y - 2)²

A) The perimeter is the length around the rectangle, so it would be 2 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 14m

The area is 2m * 5m = 10m^2

b/c) You have to draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 14m, and an area that ISN'T 10m^2. You could draw a 3m by 4m rectangle which would have a perimeter of 14m and an area of 12m^2.
