Answer:
3(x - 5)(x + 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 - 12x - 15
Dividing through by 3:
= 3(x^2 - 4x - 5)
We need 2 numbers whose sum is -4 and whose product = -5. That is -5 and +1 , so the factors are:
3(x - 5)(x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:
True:
Any letter can be used as a variable (yes)
Variables are used for numbers that haven't been defined yet (maybe)
All the rest are false

Answer:
45cm or 9cm are all the possible lengths
Answer:
x=56 and the exterior angle is 116
Step-by-step explanation:
We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y. Angle y and the angle (2x +4) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.
y + 2x+4 =180
Solve for y by subtracting 2x+4 from each side.
y + 2x+4 - (2x+4) =180 - (2x+4)
y = 180-2x-4
y = 176-2x
The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x+ y+ 60 = 180
x+ (176-2x)+60 = 180
Combine like terms
-x +236=180
Subtract 236 from each side
-x+236-236 = 180-236
-x = -56
Multiply each side by -1
-1*-x = -56*-1
x=56
The exterior angle is 2x+4. Substitute x=56 into the equation.
2(56)+4
112+4
116
The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total amount to be split = $775
Let,
Oldest son's share = x
Middle son's share = y
Youngest son's share = z
According to given statement;
x+y+z=775 Eqn 1
the oldest gets twice as much as the youngest
x = 2z Eqn 2
the middle son gets $35 more than the youngest
y = z+35 Eqn 3
Putting value of x and y from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 4
Putting z=185 in Eqn 2
Putting z=185 in Eqn 3
The oldest son will get $370, the middle will get $220 and the youngest will get $185.
