Greeley [361]3 years ago

Answer:

Options (3), (4) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1). a² - 9a + 7ab + 63b

  = a(a - 9) + 7b(a + 9)

  Now we can not solve this problem further.

  Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

2). 3a + 4ab - b - 12

   = a(3 + 4b) - 1(b - 12)

   We can't solve it further.

   Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

3). ab + 6b - 2a - 12

   = b(a + 6) - 2(a + 6)

   = (b - 2)(a + 6)

  We can be factored this expression by grouping.

4). x³ + 9x²+ 7x + 63

   = x²(x + 9) + 7(x + 9)

   = (x² + 7)(x + 9)

   Therefore, the given expression can be factored by grouping.

5). ay² + a - y² - 1

  = a(y² + 1) - 1(y² + 1)

  = (a - 1)(y² + 1)

  This expression can be factored by the grouping method.

Options (3), (4) and (5) are the correct answers.

What is the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 9 = 3(x + 1) + x?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Given the equation: 2(x-3)+9=3(x+1)+x

Distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of the two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately i.e,

a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+a\cdot c

Now, using distributive property to LHS and RHS, we get

2x-6+9=3x+3+x

Combine like terms on RHS;

2x-6+9 = 4x+3

or

2x+3 = 4x+3

Subtract 3 from both sides of an equation;

2x+3-3 =4x+3-3

Simplify:

2x = 4x

or

4x-2x =0

2x = 0

⇒ x =0

Therefore, the value of x in the given equation

2(x-3)+9=3(x+1)+x is 0.

A manufacturer wishes to make a cereal box in the shape of a golden rectangle, based on the theory that this shape is the most p
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Let w be the width and l the length of the rectangle. 
Then: \frac{l}{w}= \frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}  \text{ and }lw=104
Solving the above system we get:
l= \frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}w\\= \frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}\frac{104}{l}
Therefore:
l^2=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}104 then l=13,which is the length, 
And then the width w=\frac{104}{13}=8
