How do I solve 12x^2-89x-56 factor by grouping

1 answer:

7 0

Use ac method

multiply 12 and -56
-672
now find what 2 factors of -672 add to -89
answer is -96 and 7

expand the middle term like that
12x²-96x+7x-56
group
(12x²-96x)+(7x-56)
factor
12x(x-8)+7(x-8)
undistribute the (x-8)
(x-8)(12x+7) is answer

In a field there are cows, birds, and spiders. Spiders have 4 eyes and 8 legs each. In the field there are 20 eyes and 30 legs.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

1 spider, 3 cows, 5 birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cows (C): 4 legs, 2 eyes.

Birds (B): 2 legs, 2 eyes.

Spiders (S): 8 legs, 4 eyes.

The number of legs and eyes are given, respectively by:

$30 = 4C+2B+8S\\20 = 2C+2B+4S$

Multiplying the second equation by -2 and adding it to the first one gives us the number of birds:

$30 -40= 4C-4C+2B-4B+8S-8S\\-10 = -2B\\B=5$

Rewriting the original equations with B =5:

$30 = 4C+2*5+8S\\20 = 2C+2*5+4S\\20 = 4C+8S\\10 = 2C+4S\\C=5-2S$

Since the number of cows cannot be negative, and both C and S must be odd numbers, the only possible value of S is 1:

$C=5-2S\\S=1\\C=3$

Caculate The Median 19, 21, 7, 22, 33, 24 help- ~jaii

emmasim [6.3K]

Order all the numbers:

7, 19, 21, 22, 24, 33

The 2 middle numbers are 21 and 22

Add both numbers and divide by 2:

21 + 22 = 43

43 / 2 = 21.5

The median is 21.5
