The answer is = (x + 5y) (x + 7y)
Break the expression into two groups.
x^2 + 12xy + 35y^2
(x^2 + 5xy) (7xy + 35^2)
Factor out x from x^2 + 5xy: x(x + 5y)
Factor out 7y from 7xy + 35y^2: 7y(x + 5y)
=x(x + 5y) + 7y(x + 5y)
Next, factor out the common term (x+ 5y).
Answer = (x + 5y) (x + 7y)
Dividing (3x^2-2x) by x gives out 3x-2
We need the question and answer choices for us to answer
The circumference of a circle of diameter 13 m is 13π m, about 40.82 m.
(40.82 m)/(2.5 m) = 16.328
16 may be the best approximation of the number of pieces Malia will need. 17 pieces will make a barrier that is longer (larger diameter) than is needed.
