Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One roll is of length = 9 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

9 feet = 12 *9 = 108 inches

Since there are 5 rolls

So, total length of 5 rolls = 108 * 5 = 540 inches

Since we are given that A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length.

We are supposed to find . What is the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon

So, number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon:

Hence the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon is 36

Factor the following expression. 36y - 12
Over [174]

Hey there!


36y - 12


FIRST LOOK AT THE GCF (Greatest Common Factor)


36y: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, and y


12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12


GCF: 12


So, 12 would most likely be number before you make your parentheses


12(?y - 1)


The numbers in your original equation both share 3 & -1


So, therefore the factor form of your equation should be: 12(3y - 1)


Answer: 12(3y - 1)


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

21. In 4 + In(4x - 15) = In(5x + 19)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

x=-30;\quad \:I\ne \:0

Step-by-step explanation:

In\cdot \:4+In\left(4x-15\right)=In\left(5x+19\right)

\:4+In\left(4x-15\right):\quad -11nI+4nxI\\In\cdot \:4+In\left(4x-15\right)\\=4nI+nI\left(4x-15\right)\\\\\:In\left(4x-15\right):\quad 4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=In,\:b=4x,\:c=15\\=In\cdot \:4x-In\cdot \:15\\=4nxI-15nI\\=In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Simplify}\:In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI:\quad -11nI+4nxI\\In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}\\=4nI-15nI+4nxI\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:4nI-15nI=-11nI\\=-11nI+4nxI\\

\mathrm{Expand\:}In\left(5x+19\right):\quad 5nxI+19nI\\In\left(5x+19\right)\\=nI\left(5x+19\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=In,\:b=5x,\:c=19\\=In\cdot \:5x+In\cdot \:19\\=5nxI+19nI\\\\-11nI+4nxI=5nxI+19nI\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}11nI\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-11nI+4nxI+11nI=5nxI+19nI+11nI\\Simplify\\4nxI=5nxI+30nI\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}5nxI\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4nxI-5nxI=5nxI+30nI-5nxI\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\-nxI=30nI\\

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-nI;\quad \:I\ne \:0\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}=\frac{30nI}{-nI};\quad \:I\ne \:0\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}=\frac{30nI}{-nI}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-nxI}{-nI}:\quad x\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{nxI}{nI}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:n\\=\frac{xI}{I}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:I\\=x\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{30nI}{-nI}:\quad -30\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:

\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:n\\=\frac{30I}{I}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:I\\=-30\\x=-30;\quad \:I\ne \:0
