Ok so find greatert common factor
ab+ac=a(b+c)
15x=3*5*x
9=3*3
gcf=3
15x-9=
3(5x)+3(-3)=
3(5x-3)
possible dimentions is 3 unit and 5x-3 units
I did this manually on some notepaper but my scanner is not working.
The answer is 72 cm^2
Answer:
standard deviation
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation is defined as the measure of how spread out the numbers are in a given population. In other words, statistics refers to the amount of the dispersion or variation of a set of given values.
It is denoted by the Greek letter sigma, σ.
Thus the standard deviation is the measure of how dispersed the data are in the population which can be used to provide context to a larger data sets.
Let's break this up:
let x = the number
"when I triple my number" is the same as
3x
"and add five" is the same as
+5
We combine it to get
3x+5
"I get twenty-six"
=26
combine to get
3x+5=26
Now we just solve:
subtract 5 from both sides to get
3x=21
divide by 3 to get
x=7
