Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²+4x -16 = 2(x²+2x-8); factor 2
= 2(x+4)(x-2) ;factor the quadratic equation
4x²-16 = 4(x²-4) ; factor 4
=4(x²- 2²) ; rewrite 4 as 2²
= 4(x-2)(x+2); now use the difference of two squares a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
so now we have:
; simplify (x-2) from numerator and denominator
and 2/4 as 1/2
3.75, to do this do 15*.25
Answer:
(2, 7) is the correct ordered pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 31
2x + 3y = 25 Subtract to eliminate the y variable:
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2.
Substitute x = 2 in the first equation:
5*2 + 3y = 31
3y = 31-10 = 21
y = 21/3
y = 7.
Check the result by substituting for x and y in the second equation:
2(2) + 3(7) = 25
4 + 21 = 25
25 = 25.
Answer:
4 and the correct answer is 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the top of the desk is a trapezoid.
A = (b1 + b2)h/2
A = (5 ft + 3 ft)(3 ft)/2
A = (8 ft)(3 ft)/2
A = 24 ft^2/2
A = 12 ft^2
Answer: 12 square feet
