Its best to turn fractions into decimals so its easier to solve the problem, in order to do this you would divide the number on the top to the number on the bottom. Ex: 1 divide by 2 So the numerator divided by the denominator. The top of the faction is the numerator and the bottom of the faction is the denominator. So 1 divided by 2 = 0.5 you would replace 0.5 for the 1/2.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
Answer:
C. (-4x^2)+2xy^2+[10x^2y+(-4x^2y)
Step-by-step explanation:
A. [9-4x2) + (-4x2y) + 10x2y] + 2xy2 : in this polynomial the first term is not a like term, then this is incorrect.
B. 10x2y + 2xy2 + [(-4x2) + (-4x2y)] : in this polynomial, the terms that are grouped, are not like terms, then is incorrect.
C. (-4x2) + 2xy2 + [10x2y + (-4x2y)] ; This polynomial is the right answer because the like terms are grouped.
D. [10x2y + 2xy2 + (-4x2y)] + (-4x2): This polynomial is incorrect because one of the terms that are grouped is not a like term.
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

<span> 2.1 </span> Factoring <span> 6x2-x-4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>6x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 6 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -x </span> its coefficient is <span> -1 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 6</span> • -4 = -24</span>
