This is just simple Pythagorean’s theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Number 2:
5^2 + x^2 = 10^2
25 + x^2 = 100
x^2 = 75
x = sqrt 75 = 5*sqrt(3)
Number 3:
4^2 + x^2 = 7^2
16 + x^2 = 49
x^2 = 33
x = sqrt 33
You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).
2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:
2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]
Also: -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ] Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).

Rates Question
12 A highway had a landslide, where 3,000 cubic yards of material fell on the road, requiring 200 dump truck loads to clear. On another highway, a slide left 40,000 cubic yards on the road. How many dump truck loads would be needed to clear this slide?
3,000 yd3 = 200 dtl
40,000 yd3 × 200 dtl = 2,667 dtl
3, 000 yd3
