Find the prime factors.<br> 7) 48

FinnZ [79.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$48 = 48 \times 1 \\ 48 = (24 \times 2) \times 1 \\ 48 = (12 \times 2) \times 2 \times 1 \\ 48 = (6 \times 2) \times 2 \times 2 \times 1 \\ 48 = (3 \times 2) \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 1$

Question 2 -of 15 Step 1 of 1No Time LimitA company manufactures two products. One requires 5 hours of labor, 3 poundsof raw mat

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

the cost of labour per hour is $7.20

the cost of raw materials per pound is $11.60

Explanation:

For product one:

time = 5 hours of labour

let the cost labour per hour = x

Amount = 3 pounds of raw amterials

let the cost of one pound raw material = y

Cost to produce each product = $70.8

The equation:

time (cost per hour) + amount (cost of one pound of raw material) = Cost to produce each product

5(x) + 3(y) = 70.80

$5x+3y=70.8....\mleft(1\mright)$

For product 2:

time = 3.5 hours of labour

let the cost of labour per hour = x

Amount = 13 pounds of raw amterials

let the cost of one pound raw material = y

Cost to produce each product = $176.00

The equation:

time (cost per hour) + amount (cost of one pound of raw material) = Cost to produce each product

3.5(x) + 13(y) = 176

$3.5x+13y=176\text{ .... (2)}$

combining both equations:

5x + 3y = 70.8 ...(1)

3.5x + 13y = 176 ....(2)

Using elimination method:

To eliminate y, we will multiply equation (1) by 13 and equation (2) by 3 so that both coefficient of y become the same

65x + 39y = 920.4 ...(*1)

10.5x + 39y = 528 ...(2*)

subtract equation (2*) from (1*):

65x - 10.5x + 39y - 39y = 920.4 - 528

54.5x + 0 = 392.4

54.5x = 392.4

divide both sides by 54.5:

x = 392.4/54.5

x = 7.2

substitute for x in any of the equations

Using equation 1: 5x + 3y = 70.8

$\begin{gathered} 5\mleft(7.2\mright)+3y=\text{ 70.8} \\ 36\text{ + 3y = 70.8} \\ 3y\text{ = 70.8 - 36} \\ 3y\text{ = 34.8} \\ \\ \text{divide both sides by 3:} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{34.8}{3} \\ y\text{ = }11.6 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the cost of labour per hour is $7.20 and the cost of raw materials per pound is $11.60

Solve for x 4/x + 4/x^2-9= 3/x-3

Goshia [24]

$\dfrac{4}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2-9}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{4}{x^2-9}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{4}{x^2-9}\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{4}{x^2-3^2}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{4}{(x-3)(x+3)}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3(x+3)}{(x-3)(x+3)}-\dfrac{4}{(x-3)(x+3)}\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3x+9-4}{(x-3)(x+3)}\\\\\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{3x+5}{x^2-9}\qquad\text{cross multiply}$

$4(x^2-9)=x(3x+5)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\4x^2-36=3x^2+5x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 3x^2\ \text{and}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2-5x-36=0\\\\x^2-9x+4x-36=0\\\\x(x-9)+4(x-9)=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0\iff x-9=0\ \vee\ x+4=0\\\\\boxed{x=9\ \vee\ x=-4}$
