Let's factor the top and the bottom.
Top factors 4x + 20 = 4(x + 5)
Bottom x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
The gcf is the largest value that will go into both the top and the bottom. In our problem the ONLY thing that will go into top and bottom is x + 5 so that is your GCF. (c)
Let's imagine we enclosed the entire shape in a 15 inch wide, 21 inch tall rectangle, area 315 sq inches.
From that rectangle we have to take away the 3x6 bottom left corner, and a strip 21-6=15 inches long and 3 inches wide on the right.
A = 15×21 - 3×6 - 3×15 = 315 - 63 = 252 sq in
Answer: D. 252 inches squared, last choice
x=3/2-1/4
8x+2y=12
move the variable to the right side and change the sign.
8x=12-2y
divide both sides of the equation by 8
x=3/2-1/4y
the final solution is
x=3/2-1/4y
Answer:
The pitcher paid $70.
The second baseman paid $63.
$70 -$63 = $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-2( 7x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-14x - 8
Factor out -2
-2*7x -2*4
-2( 7x+4)
