9x minus 36 Factor out the coefficient of the variable.

1 answer:

6 0

The coefficient is the greatest common factor for the numbers 6 and 36. Find the greatest common factor (for this problem, it is 9).
9 goes on the outside of the problem. Then fill in the 9x-36 by dividing the 9 and 36 by 9.
9(x-4)

Peter Schmidt ordered sandwiches and salads for a luncheon meeting. The sandwiches cost three times as much as a salads. The tot

evablogger [386]

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

$Sandwiches= 3*$Salads

Bill = $24.92

We can represent this in an equation:

Total Bill = Sandwiches + Salads

Let's call to Sandwiches "x" to Salads "y" and to Bill "B"

Then, the equation will be:

B = x+y = (3*y) + y

Applying distributive property:

24.92 = 3y + y

Adding similar terms:

24.92 = 4y

Dividing both sides by 4:

6.23 = y

Switching:

y=6.23

As we know, y variable represent the salads cost, so:

Answer is $6.23.

What is the length of line segment KJ?

Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

$KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2$
