Answer:

The middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3) is -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given expression (x - 4)(x - 3)

We have to find the middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3).

First multiply the given terms, we get,

$(x - 4)(x - 3)=x(x-3)-4(x-3)$

Simplify, we get,

$x(x-3)-4(x-3)=x^2-3x-4x+12$

Simplify further, we get,

$x^2-3x-4x+12=x^2-7x+12$

Thus, the middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3) is -7

(x-4)(x-3) so what you do is

x -4
x x^2 -4x

-3 -3x 12

x^2-7x+12
your answer would be -7x

From the question, a photo of a beetle in a science book was.increased to 535% as large as its actual size and the beetle.has a actual size of 14 millimeters,

The size of the beetle on the photo will be 535% of 14 millimeters. This will be:

= 535% of 14

= 535/100 × 14

= 5.35 × 14

= 74.9 millimeters

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of WHOLE pizzas needed, we need to divide the total number of slices needed (713) by 8 slices. Thus

$\frac{713}{8}=89.125$

<em>because we can't order fractional pizza, we need to round up. So we will need 90 pizzas.</em>

<em>Correct answer is D.</em>
