<em>Part A: </em>

Let c represent the total amount of chocolate there is in lbs.

c = 0.25c + 0.75c

<em>Part B: </em>

0.75c represents milk chocolate, and we know that there are 3 lbs of milk chocolate, so you can replace the 0.75c with 3 (representing 3 lbs):

c = 0.25c + 3

Divide all the terms by c:

1 = 0.25 + 3/c

Subtract 0.25 from both sides to combine the like terms:

0.75 = 3/c

Multiply all the terms by c to make the equation easier to work with:

0.75c = 3

Divide both sides by 0.75 to isolate the c and find the total amount of chocolate in pounds.

c = 4

Substitute c for 4 in the term that defines dark chocolate (which was 0.25c)

0.25(4) = 1 pound

Therefore, there was exactly 1 pound of dark chocolate present in the chocolate.

This makes sense, as 1 pound of dark chocolate + 3 pounds of milk chocolate = 4 pounds of chocolate in total, and 1 is 25% of 4 and 3 is 75% of 4.

Which is the completely factored form of 4x3 10x2 – 6x? 2(x 3)(2x – 1) 2x(x 3)(2x – 1) 2x(x – 3)(2x – 1) 2(x – 3)(2x 1).
Natalija [7]

The equation 4x^3+10x^2 – 6x is factorized as 2x(x+3)(2x – 1).

Option B represents the correct factors of the equation.

<h3>What is a Factor of the number?</h3>

A factor of the number can be defined as a divisor of the number that divides it completely without leaving any remainder.

Given equation is 4x^3+10x^2 – 6x. This can be factorized as given below.

4x^3+10x^2-6x = 0

We take the common term 2x, then,

2x ( 2x^2 + 5x -3)=0

2x ( 2x^2 +6x -x -3)=0

2x (2x (x+3) -1(x+3))=0

2x (2x-1)(x+3)=0

Hence we can conclude that the factors of the given equation are 2x(x+3)(2x – 1). Option B shows the correct factors.

Factorise<br><br>4(a+b) - 6(a+b)²​
lawyer [7]

Good morning ☕️

Answer:

2(a+b)(2 - 3a - 3b)

Step-by-step explanation:

4(a+b) - 6(a+b)²​  

here we need to find the common factor between 4(a+b) and 6(a+b)²​

4(a+b) = 2×[2(a+b)]

6(a+b)²​ = 2×3×(a+b)×(a+b) = 3(a+b)×[2(a+b)]

then

4(a+b) - 6(a+b)²​  = 2×[2(a+b)] − 3(a+b)×[2(a+b)]

                          = [2(a+b)]×[2 - 3(a+b)]

                         = 2(a+b)×(2 − 3a − 3b)

Two years ago ,a woman was 7 times as old as her daughter,but in 3 years time ,she would be 2 times as old as the girl,how old a
Vika [28.1K]

Let present age of women and her daughter be x and y respectively.

<u>According to the questi</u>on,

Case 1 :

Two years ago,

Woman age = ( x - 2 ) years

Her daughter age = ( y - 2 ) years

Woman was 7 times old as her daughter. [ Given ]

x - 2 = 7 ( y - 2 )

=> x - 2 = 7y - 14

=> x - 2 + 14 = 7y

=> x + 12 = 7y ....( i )

Case 2 :

After Three years ,

Woman age = x + 3

Her daughter age = y + 3

she would be 4 times old as the girl. [ Given ]

x + 3 = 4 ( y + 3 )

=> x + 3 = 4y + 12

=> x = 4y + 12 - 3

=> x = 4y + 9....( ii )

Now,

★ Substituting the value of x = 4y + 9 from equation ( ii ) in equation ( i ),we get

x + 12 = 7y

=> 4y + 9 + 12 = 7y

=> 21 = 7y - 4y

=> 21 = 3y

=> 3y = 21

=> y = 21/3

=> y = 7

And,

x = 4y + 9

★ Substituting the value of y in equation ( ii ), we get

x = 4 × 7 + 9

x = 28 + 9

x = 37

Hence, the present age of women is 37 years and her daughter age is 7.
