Mathematics

For this case we have that the variable "x" represents the number of hours that Leticia uses to take care of children on Saturday.

IF on Friday I use 4 hours ($ 8 each) and on Saturday "x" hours ($ 8 each) obtaining a profit of $ 72, we have the following equation:

8 (4 + x) = 72

We apply distributive property:

32 + 8x = 72\\8x = 72-32\\8x = 40\\x = \frac {40} {8}\\x = 5

So, on Saturday she spent 5 hours.

Answer:

8 (4 + x) = 72\\x = 5

Answer:

Option A.

Option  C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of hours  Leticia babysat on Saturday.

We know that she charges $8 per hour to babysit, she babysat Friday night for 4 hours and the total amount of money she earned on those two days was $72. Knowing this, we can set up the followin equation models this situation:

8(4+x)=72

Finally, we must  solve for "x":

8(4+x)=72\\\\32+8x=72\\\\8x=72-32\\\\8x=40\\\\x=\frac{40}{8}\\\\x=5

We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4

6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24

So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping

a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)

Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)

John invested $17,500 that
babymother [125]

Answer:

<u>The future value of the investment after 10 years is $ 29,240.53</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Principal = $ 17,500

Interest rate = 5.2% = 0.052 compounded semiannually

Time = 10 years = 20 semesters

2. What is the future value of the investment after 10 years​?

Let's use the formula of the Future Value, to calculate it for this investment:

FV = P * (1 + r) ⁿ

Let's replace with the real values:

FV = 17,500 * (1 + 0.052/2)²⁰

FV = 17,500 * 1.670887521

<u>FV = 29,240.53</u>

Factoring without Combining Like Terms
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

(x + 3)(2x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 6x + 5x + 15 ← grouping the terms

= (2x² + 6x) + (5x + 15) ← factor each group

= 2x(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(2x + 5) ← in factored form
