It can either be the negative sign of the number by the x so it should either be 2 or -
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed as follows;
In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.
Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.
Thus, we have;
2a(b-3) + 5b + _
Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;
2a(b-3) + 5b-15
2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)
So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)
Hence the constant used is -15
Answer:
6, 21, and 23 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.
- This means that we can algebraically solve the equation
Step 1: Combine like terms.
Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
Step 4: Plug in the value of n as 6 in each side.
Therefore, the side lengths are 6, 21, and 23 inches.
Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
