Answer:

4-2 is greater.

The problem:

Is 4-2 or 2-4 greater?

Step-by-step explanation:

4-2 is greater because 4-2=2 while 2-4=-2.

4-2 is 2 because if you start at 4 and move left 2 due to the subtraction of 2 then you land on 2 on the number line.

2-4 is -2 because if you start at 2 and move left 4 units due to subtraction of 4 then you have landed at -2 on the number line.

Also 2-4=-4+2=-(4-2). This means 2-4 and 4-2 will have opposite values. 2-4 is a negative number because you are taking a bigger positive number away from a smaller positive number. 4-2 is a positive value because you are taking a positive smaller value away from a bigger positive value. Any positive number are greater than any negative number.

Use the given x and y values to write a direct variation<br> equation.<br> x = 2, y = 30
exis [7]

Answer:

y = 15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x and y are in direct variation then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 2, y = 30, then

30 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

15 = k

y = 15x ← equation of variation

What are the factors of 9t^2+12t+4
yarga [219]

Answer: (3t-2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, multiply 9 and 4 together to get 36.

Now what factors of 36 add to 12? Well, 6 and 6, so let's rewrite this:

9t^2-6t-6t+4

Now group factor what you can:

3t(3t-2)-2(3t-2)

Now 3t and -2 both share the common factor of (3t-2) so you can rewrite it as:

(3t-2)(3t-2) which is:

(3t-2)^2.

Hope that makes sense or helps!
