SIMPLE Factoring by Grouping

Mathematics
1 answer:
brilliants [131]3 years ago
7 0
Group together the terms that have "like" variables or constants in them. The first 2 terms both have an x, but the second 2 don't, so the first two are grouped together. The second 2 terms, while they do not have a common variable, both have the number 2. So those are grouped together.
(xa - xb) - (2a + 2b)--> x(a-b) - 2(a-b). Now you can actually factor out the like term (a-b) to get this: (a-b)(x-2).

Natali [406]
Answer: The proportion that will qualify is 0.0314 or 3.14%.

First, we need to find the z-score of a time of 128 seconds. To do this, we find the difference of the mean and score and divide by the standard deviation.

(128 - 141) / 7 = -1.86

Now, use a standard normal distribution table to determine the percent below a z-score of -1.86. That value is 0.0314 or 3.14%.

Las edades de cuatro hermanos forman una progresión aritmética, y su suma es 32 años. El mayor tiene 6 años más que el menor. Ha
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The ages of the four siblings are: 5, 7, 9 and 11 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the age of the four siblings is shown below:

Given that

n = 4

a1 =? a2 =? a3 =? a4 =?

a4 = a1 + 6 years

S4 = 32

Based on the above information

As we know that

Sn = (a1 + a4) ×  n ÷ 2

S4 = (a1 + a4) × 4 ÷ 2

32 = (a1 + a1 +6) × 2

16 = 2a1 + 6

 2a1 = 10

 a1 = 10 ÷ 2

= 5

So,  a4 = a1 +6

= 5 +6

= 11

a4 = a1 + (4-1) × d

11 = 5 + 3 × d

d = 6 ÷ 3

= 2

So,

a2 = a1 + d

= 5 + 2

= 7

a3 = a2 + d

= 7 + 2

= 9

Hence, The ages of the four siblings are: 5, 7, 9 and 11 years old.
