an equivalent expression is 5y+4
there is 3y which is y+y+y
so you have y+y+y+y+4+y
there are 5 y so it is 5y
then you have +4
5y+4
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-27 = 7x -15
subtract x from both sides
-27=6x-15
add 15 to both sides
-12=6x
divide both sides by 6
-2=x
x=-2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 9x + 18 = x² + 6x + 3x + 18
= x(x + 6) + 3(x + 6)
= (x + 3)(x + 6)
x² + 16x + 63 = x² + 9x + 7x + 63
= x(x + 9) + 7( x+ 9)
= (x + 7)(x + 9)
y² + 13y + 36 = y²+ 9y + 4y + 36
= y(y + 9) + 4(y + 9)
= (y + 4)(y + 9)
(a). Factored form of the expression (y² + 13y + 36) is (y + 4)(y + 9).
Therefore, Lyndsey's answer is wrong.
(b). Factors are (y + 4) and (y + 9).
(c). Factored form of the expression should be (y + 4)(y + 9) instead of Lindsey's answer (y + 6)(y + 6).
