Hi! I'm having trouble with my algebra homework. The second question (b) confused me, I don't understand what they are asking or

what to do. Can you please help me? Thanks!
question:

You are looking to carpet your bedroom. The area of your rectangular bedroom is given by the expression A=10x^2-50x.

a. What is the GCF of the binomial?

(I'm pretty sure the answer is 10 you don't have to help me with this.)

b. If the length of your bedroom is "five times x", what is the width?

(This is what is confusing me, please help.)

c. If the length of your bedroom is the GCF in part (a), what is the width?

A

Don't forget that you can also pull out an x besides the 10. The expression should look like this.

A(x) = 10x(x - 5)

The GCF is 10x

B

The area of the Bedroom = 10x ( x - 5)

If the length = 5x then the width is

A/L = 10x (x - 5)/(5x)= 2*(x - 5)

C

Now they are changing the Length to the GCF. We determined in A that the GCF = 10x

This time A/L = 10x(x - 5)/10x = (x - 5)

So the width = x - 5

An angle measures 30° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
yarga [219]

Hi there!
\boxed{\angle A = 75^o, \angle B = 105^o}

Let there be two angles, ∠A and ∠B, that are supplementary to each other. Therefore:

∠A + ∠B = 180°

We can assign ∠B to be the greater angle. Assume ∠A has a measure of x°.

∠A = x°

∠B = x° + 30°

The sum is equal to 180°, so:

x° + (x° + 30°) = 180°

Solve for x°.

2x° + 30° = 180°

2x° = 150°

x° = 75°

Thus, ∠A = 75°.

Since ∠B is 30°, greater:
∠B = 75° + 30° = 105°.

Clare has a set of cubes with a volume of 1 cm³ each. She also has a box with a volume of 24 cm³. Exactly two layers of cubes ca
Damm [24]

Answer:

12 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...

24 / 2 = 12 cubes

Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes
