Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2+11x +4

Multiply the constant 4 by 6x^2.

Hence 4 times 6x^2 = 24x^2

Get two numbers when you multiply them it will give you 24 but if you add them it will give 11.

The numbers are +8 and +3 because +8 x +3= +24

and +8 + 3 = 11.

Substituting +8x +3x as 11x in the equation:

6x^2 +8x +3x +4

(6x^2+ 8x) + (3x + 4)

Factorizing the common things in the bracket.

2x(3x + 4) +1 (3x +4) since the common factor between (3x + 4) is 1.

Grouping the values outside together: (2x+1) (3x +4) =0

Therefore, 2x + 1 = 0 or 3x +4 = 0

2x = -1 or 3x = -4

x = -1/2 or -4/3.

Thanks.

(3x+4)(2x+1)

If the question asks you to find roots/solutions:

3x + 4 = 0
3x = -4
x = -1.33333333

2x + 1 = 0
2x = -1
x = -0.5

Riley makes a mistake in step 2 while doing her homework. What is the mistake?

gtnhenbr [62]

We have been given work of Riley. By looking at his work carefully, we have to identify the error. So let's start from beginning.

$\frac{x}{x^2-5x+6}+ \frac{3}{x+3}$

First line is just the question so there will be no error.

After that we try to factor denominators

STEP1: $\frac{x}{(x-2)(x-3)}+ \frac{3}{x+3}$

Factors are correct so no error in step1.

In step2, we have to find the common denominator which will be (x-2)(x-3)(x+3)

so that means she needs to multiply and divide 2nd term by (x-2)(x-3) while she multiplied by only (x-2). Which means she used wrong common denominator.

<u>Hence final answer will be "B. She used the wrong common denominator."</u>

How many blank pages remain

Ierofanga [76]

B) 14.

If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.

Nate spent $28 on 2 dvds.at this rate how much would 5 dvds cost him

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

2=28 divide both get 14 . So each cd is 14$. So now 28+28=56 (4 cd's) plus 14 (1 more cd) =5 so 5 is 70.
