C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17
First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x
Adding all those up:
x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17
Answer: Alice
Step-by-step explanation: Alice won because she started furthest From the starting line.
Factor the following:
10 y^2 - 35 y + 30
Factor 5 out of 10 y^2 - 35 y + 30:
5 (2 y^2 - 7 y + 6)
Factor the quadratic 2 y^2 - 7 y + 6.
The coefficient of y^2 is 2 and the constant term is 6.
The product of 2 and 6 is 12.
The factors of 12 which sum to -7 are -3 and -4. So 2 y^2 - 7 y + 6 = 2 y^2 - 4 y - 3 y + 6 = y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3):
5 y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3)
Factor 2 y - 3 from y (2 y - 3) - 2 (2 y - 3):
Answer: 5 (2 y - 3) (y - 2)
