Answer:
A. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Selecting B, C, or D would create a difference of perfect squares since each of these numbers are perfect squares. Additional factoring would then be needed.

But selecting 12 gives
which cannot be factored. It is factored completely.
Answer:
2(28)=23+x
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 28 students and each student needs two brownies. You have to multiply 28 by 2 so you will have to total number on one side.
On the other you need to have the number of brownies you have at the moment and x for the number you need to bake. You want to add them because you will need to put those numbers together to get the number on the opposite side.
28x2=56 so 56=23+x. Subtract the 23 from both sides to get 33=x. x=33
To check plug 33 into x to get 2(28)=23+33. 56=23+33. 56=56
you need 33 more brownies.
So the equation would be 2(28)=23+x.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
9:7.
Step-by-step explanation:
14 blue triangles and 18 yellow triangles,
The LCM of them both is 2 so we can divide both of the numbers by 2.
14 divided by 2 = 7
18 divided by 2 = 9
Since they asked for the ratio of <u><em>yellow triangles to blue triangles</em></u>,
The answer will be <em><u>9:7</u></em>.
Hope that helps. x
Yes. 3/3 and 6/6 are both equal 1. 2/2 is also equivalent.
