Factor 3x^2 - 12x + 3
3x^2 - 12x + 3
answer is 3(x^2 - 4x + 1)
Answer:
2 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 + b = 3
rearrange the equation
3 - 3/4 = b
3/1 - 3/4 = 14/4 - 3/4 = 11/4 = 2 and 1/4
The answer to this is C. (28,10) and (22,2).
Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
