Answer: 51/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you must cut down the length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches, the leftover piece will be:

15 1/8 - 8 3/4

Change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

121/8 - 35/4

The LCM will be 8

( 121 - 70 )/8

51/8 or 6.375 inches

Therefore, the leftover piece will be 51/8 inches long

Which two numbers on the number line has an absolute value of 3?
luda_lava [24]

Solution

             To    find   Which two numbers on the number line has  an

             absolute value of  3  

            Absolute   value   means    " how  far   a  number    is   from  

           zero "  .

           "3"    is    3    away   from   zero  .

           and    " -3 "   is  also   3    away   from  zero  .

           i.e

                    |  0  - 3  |   =   3

                    |  3 - 0 |  =  3

                    So ,  the  absolute   value  of   "3 "    is    3

                   similarly  , absolute  value  of  "3 "   is   3  .

                  Hence  , the  two  numbers   are   -3    and   3

Fifteen more than a number is written as...?
frozen [14]

Answer:

x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I don't know what this number is, I'm going to use the variable x to substitute for the value of the unknown number.

So it would just be x + 15 because addition is the operation of adding and the key words are usually more. Since one of the numbers is unknown, we can't get an answer like "100" because x is undefined.

Say x=100, then the number would be written as 115 in it's simplest form but you could also write it as 100+15. So I'm just using substitution.

Factor completely x3 + 8x2 − 3x − 24.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

<h2>x³ + 8x² - 3x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - √3)(x + √3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3+8x^2-3x-24\\\\=(x^2)(x)+(x^2)(8)+(-3)(x)+(-3)(8)\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\=x^2(x+8)-3(x+8)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-3)\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-(\sqrt3)^2)\\\\=(x+8)(x-\sqrt3)(x+\sqrt3)
