The greatest number of teams Leo can create is 2

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

There are 32 point guards and 50 posts In Leo's basketball league

From given,

Number of point guards = 32

Number of posts = 50

Leo must include all players on a team and wants each team to have the same number of point guards and the same number of posts

To find the greatest number of teams Leo can create, we should find the greatest common factor of 32 and 50

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same, then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor

<em><u>Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 50:</u></em>

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

Then the greatest common factor is 2

Thus the greatest number of teams Leo can create is 2

The ratio of the bake time for a pepperoni pizza (P) and a cheese pizza (C) is modeled by the equation: P = 3C - 2. A.) If a sma
Elena L [17]

Answer:

34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of time for which Pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza should be baked is given as:

P = 3C - 2

Where P is the time for which pepperoni pizza should be baked and

C is the time for which Cheese pizza should be baked.

Also, it is given that a small Cheese pizza should be baked for 12 minutes.

In other words, we are given that: C=12\ min

To find:

For how long small pepperoni pizza should be baked ?

In other words,

P=?

Solution:

Let us put the value of C in the equation of the model.

P = 3C - 2

\Rightarrow P = 3\times 12 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = 36 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = \bold{34\ min}

Therefore, a small pepperoni pizza should be baked for <em>34 minutes</em>.

Expand the following:<br> a) x(x + 2)<br> b) x(2x - 5)<br> c) 2x(3x + 4)<br> d) 6x(x - 2)
TEA [102]

Answer:

<h2>a. \:  {x}^{2}  + 2</h2>

<h2> </h2><h2>b. \: 2 {x}^{2}  - 5x</h2><h2> </h2><h2>c. \: 6 {x}^{2}  + 8x</h2><h3> </h3><h3>d. \: 6 {x}^{2}  - 12x</h3>

solution,

a. \: x(x + 2) \\  \:  \:  = x \times x + 2 \times x \\  \:  \:  =  {x}^{2}  + 2x

b . \: x(2x - 5) \\  \:  = x \times 2x - x \times 5 \\  \:  \:  = 2 {x}^{2}  - 5x

c. \: 2x(3x + 4) \\  \:  = 2x \times 3x + 2x \times 4 \\  \:  \:  = 6 {x}^{2}  + 8x

d. \: 6x(x - 2) \\  \:  \:  = 6x \times x  - 6x \times 2 \\  \:  \:  = 6 {x}^{2}  - 12x

<h2> </h2><h2 />

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Cindy's age, x, is 3 times her age 6 years ago which equation represents the statement x=3(x-6) or x=3-6x or x=3x-6 or x=3x+6
WINSTONCH [101]
Let's denote Cindy's age which is unknown with X
We know that Cindy's age is 3 times her age 6 years ago. 
6 years ago Cindy's age was the present age (X) - 6 : X-6
The fact that the  present age is 3 times her age 6 year ago can be written as:
3*(X-6)
So, finally:
X=3*(X-6)

The length of a shadow of a building is 28m. The distance from the top of the building to the shadow is 38m. Find the height of
AlexFokin [52]
It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
  (distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
  (38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
  660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
  height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m
