Answer:

14 : 21

Step-by-step explanation:

---> 2:3 ----> 2+3=5

---> Stick's length = 35 inches

For the first portion

2/5 x 35

2/1 x 7

= 14 inches

For the second portion

3/5 x 35

3/1 x 7

= 21 inches

To confirm: 14 + 21 = 35 inches

14 : 21

Divide both by 7

2 : 3

Simplify the product (x-4)(x+3)

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Final answer is $x^2-x-12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)$ .

Now we need to find the product of the given expression $\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)$ .

$\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)$

$=x\left(x-4\right)+3\left(x-4\right)$

$=x^2-4x+3x-12$

combine like terms

$=x^2-1x-12$

$=x^2-x-12$

Hence final answer is $x^2-x-12$ .
