So to help with the first one
2 / x = 5
multiply the x on both sides
2 = 5x
divide by 5 to isolate the x
2/5 = x
For the second one
We will use the diamond to help us find the common factor
\ 1 /
\ /
\ /
2 / \ 4
/ 3 \
/ \
1) the product
2) and 4) the two numbers
and 3) is sum
10 is the product and -7 is the sum
so what two numbers (factors of 10)
will equal -7 when added
so we have these numbers that will equal the product of +10 and we will need to find the ones that will equal -7 as the sum
10*1, 2*5, -1*-10, -2*-5
if we add the two numbers we will find respectively
11, 7, -11, -7
As you can see that -2 + -5 = +10 and -2+-5= +10
So we have found the two numbers
now before we factor the expression looks like
( x + a) (x + b)
and when factored looks like
x^2 + (a+b)x + (a*b)
Now we can plug in the numbers and solve to see if -2 and -5 are right
(x + -2) (x + -5)
we will factor it
x^2 +-5x + -2x + 10
x^2 + -7x + 10
so a = -2 and b = -5
Hope this helps :)
the answer is 10.3, just search up how to solve percentage word problems
Answer:
Given Polynomial:
Factors of Coefficient of terms
80 = 5 × 16
32 = 2 × 16
48 = 3 × 16
Common factor of the coefficient of all term is 16.
Each term contain variable. So the Minimum power of b is common from all terms.
Common from all variable part comes b².
So, Common factor of the polynomial = 16b²
⇒ 16b² ( 5b² ) - 16b² ( 2c³ ) + 16b² ( 3b²c )
⇒ 16b² ( 5b² - 2c³ + 3b²c )
Therefore, Statements that are true about David's word are:
The GCF of the coefficients is correct.
The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.
In step 6, David applied the distributive property
-7-9, because he already starts below the surface by 7 feet then digs 9 inches lower
