The answer is A, 68 mirrors were broken in the process
i think the answer is yes. what i did was set it up as
x + 9 = 9x +1 then solved
i subtracted x to the other side which got me
9 = 8x +1
then moved the 1 over
8 =8x
i divided both sides by 8 then
and got 1!
Answer:
1,750 building blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the solution to this question, you must use multiplication.
If there are 14 sets of building blocks with 125 blocks each, in order to find the total amount of blocks we multiply 14 by 125.
You should get 1,750 as your final answer.
Answer:
It is a perfect square expression.
It factors to (x+2)^2
===========================================================
Explanation:
The general format for a perfect square is
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Which can be seen through the use of the FOIL rule.
Compare x^2+4x+4 with a^2+2ab+b^2, and we have these three equivalences:
- x^2 = a^2 .... first terms
- 4x = 2ab .... middle terms
- 4 = b^2 .... last terms
Since x^2 = a^2, we can apply the square root to both sides to get a = x. Similarly, 4 = b^2 leads to b = 2. We could get b = -2, but that would mean 2ab = 2x*(-2) = -4x instead of 4x. So we'll stick with b = 2 instead.
Because a = x and b = 2, we then can say:
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 2*x*2 + 2^2
(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4
Showing that x^2+4x+4 factors to (x+2)^2.
