Answer:

8(5x + 3y -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

A common number in 40x+24y-56 is 8.

40x / 8 = 5x

24y / 8 = 3y

-56 / 8 = -7

We finally get 8 (5x + 3y -7)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

8 (5x +3y -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

40x+24y-56

40x = 8*5*x = 2*2*2 *5*x

24y = 3*8*y = 3*2*2*2*y

56 = 7*8 = 7 * 2*2*2

As we can see, each of these terms has a greatest common factor of 8, so we can factor it out

8 (5x +3y -7)

if one angle of a triangle is 100 degrees and the other two angles are equal, what is the measure of each unknown angle

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees.

Let's say this is triangle ABC and angle A has a measure of 100 degrees.

That leaves 80 degrees to be split evenly between angles B and C.

80/2 = 40, so angles B and C must each be 40 degrees.

Suppose that a certain college class contains 35 students. of these, 17 are juniors, 20 are social science majors, and 12 are ne

seraphim [82]

A) Suppose $J$ is the set of juniors and $S$ is the set of social science majors. There are 35 students in all, but 12 of them don't belong to either set, so $|J\cup S|=35-12=23$ . Then

$|J\cap S|=|J|+|S|-|J\cup S|=17+20-23=14$

So the probability that a random student is both a junior and social science major is $\mathbb P(J\cap S)=\dfrac{14}{35}$

b) We're looking for the probability $\mathbb P(S\mid J)$ . By definition, this would be

$\mathbb P(S\mid J)=\dfrac{\mathbb P(S\cap J)}{\mathbb P(J)}=\dfrac{\frac{14}{35}}{\frac{17}{35}}=\dfrac{14}{17}$
