Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. So let 4x be the number of boys and 5x be the number of girls. Then 4x+5x = 9x is the total number of students. Then the fraction of boys in the class is 4x/9x = 4/9.
Answer
12 (5 - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor is the largest number that will divide both numbers evenly. As an example, 6 is a common factor because it divides both 60 and 36. However, it is not the greatest common factor.
If I break 60 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 5.
If I break 36 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 3.
The two number have the factors, 2, 2, and 3 in common.
The greatest common factor is then: 2 * 2 * 3, or 12.
The expression can be factored as: 12 ( 5 - 3)
Yes
factor out the 2z^2 in each term
(2z^2)(z^2-5z+4)
factor some more
z^2-5z+4
find what 2 numbers multiply to get 4 and add to get -5
the numbers are -1 and -4
(z-1)(z-4)
the factored form is
(2z^2)(z-1)(z-4)
