Simplify. x-2/(x^2+4x-12)

1 answer:

5 0

Simplifying the above expression we shall proceed as follows:
x-2/(x^2+4x-12)
factoring out the denominator we get:
x^2+4x-12
=x^2-2x+6x-12
=x(x-2)+6(x-2)
=(x+6)(x-2)
thus our expression will be:
(x-2)/[(x+6)(x-2)]
simplifying the above we get:
1/(x+6)

Answer: 1/(x+6)

The surface area of a cube is 27^2. Calculate the length of the sides of the cube

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean 27 units² ?

A cube has six congruent, square faces. Area of one face = (27/6) units²

Length of one edge = √(27/6)

= √(9/2)

= √9/√2

= 3/√2

= 3√2/2 units

Vernon's work for finding the value of x is shown below. Lines A C and B D intersect at point E. Angle A E D is (16 x + 8) degre

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

If line AC and BD intersects, then m<AED + m<DEC = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees)

Given

m<AED = 16x+8

m<DEC = 76 degrees

16x + 8 + 76 = 180

16x + 84 = 180

16x = 180-84

16x = 96

x = 96/16

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6

Hence the correct option is No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other
