28:70 is the ratio of the number of students on the team to the number of students who tried out.
<span>5x^2 - 7x + 2
5x^2 - 2x - 5x + 2
x(5x - 2) - (5x - 2)
(5x - 2)(x - 1)
The answer is: (5x - 2)(x - 1).</span>
Answer:
3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
8x³ - 27y³ ← is a difference of cubes and factors in general as
a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
8x³ - 27y³
= (2x)³ - (3y)³
= (2x - 3y)((2x)² + 2x(3y) + (3y)²) , that is
= (2x - 3y)(4x² + 6xy + 9y²)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10 students participated in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz
Solution: Number of girls = x
Number of boys = y
x + y = 10 -------------------(I)
Number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys
x - y = 4 ----------------------(I)
x = 4 + y
Substitute x = 4 +y in equation (I)
4+ y + y = 10
4 + 2y = 10
2y = 10-4
2y= 6
y = 6/2
y = 3
Plug in y = 3 in eqution (I)
x + 3 = 10
x = 10 - 3
x = 7
Number of girls = 7
Number of boys = 3
