h = t - 15
h + t = 33
Because we have a value of h, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for t.
t - 15 + t = 33
Add 15 to both sides.
t + t = 48
Combine like terms.
2t = 48
Divide both sides by 2.
t = 24

Answer:
angle c is 58 degrees and and angle a is 42 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2x - 3) • (x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Equation at step 1 :
(2x2 + 5x) - 12
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2+5x-12
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -12 = -24
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-24 + 1 = -23
-12 + 2 = -10
-8 + 3 = -5
-6 + 4 = -2
-4 + 6 = 2
-3 + 8 = 5
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 8
2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (2x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+4) • (2x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
The answer is 4. A function cannot have the same x value twice- 1 has two (2), 2 has all (1), 3 has two (-3), so 4 is the only answer.
