4a² - 12b = 4 (a² - 3b)
so you just pull out the common factor between the two term 4
then you divide each term by the common factor to find what remain
4a²/4 = a²
-12b/4= -3b
so now you put the four as the multiplier outside of the bracket and then put back the remainders: 4 ( a² - 3b)

The measure of an angle exceeds 3 times its supplement by 4. Find the measure of the angles.

Dafna11 [192]

X=3y+4, y=y
x+y=180, 3y+4+y=180, 4y+4=180
4y+4=180
4y=176
y=44
x=3(44)+4, x=132+4, x=136

(I am not a very good artist in this case:)

Carly and janiya put some money into their money boxes every week. the amounts of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes af

Lelu [443]

Carly : y = 60x + 40
janiya : y = 50x + 80

60x + 40 = 50x + 80
60x - 50x = 80 - 40
10x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4 <=== so at 4 weeks, they will have the same amount of money <==
The money they have is : y = 60(4) + 40.....y = $ 280 <=

so ur answer is : 4 weeks, $ 280

Which of the following appear in the diagram below? Check all that apply. X Z. W O A. _XYZ B. ZYXZ C. w D. YX

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A, C, and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

<XYZ appears in the diagram as the vertex angle Y, has two sides, YW and YX that intersect at point Y to form <XYZ.

Thus, <XYZ, line segments YW and YX all appear in the diagram given.

<YXZ does not appear because there's no vertex angle labelled X.
