2x^2 - 3x = 2x - 2
2x^2 -5x + 2


Factoring:
1. find the two numbers that multiply to equal ac (2 • 2) and add to equal b (-5)
The numbers = -4, -1

2. Extend the b term into these two numbers.
2x^2 -4x - x + 2

3. Group the first two terms and the last two terms to each other.
(2x^2 - 4x)(-x + 2)

4. Take out the GCF's in the parentheses sections. Note: the terms inside both of the parentheses should be equal, or you have done something wrong.
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2)

5. Group the GCF's together alongside the equivalent parentheses sections.
(2x - 1)(x - 2)


You're done here, but IF you want to find the solutions, you have to set each of the new parentheses sections to zero and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 0 >> 2x = 1 >> x = 1/2
x - 2= 0 >> x = 2


In conclusion, your solutions are x = 1/2 and x = 2, and your factored equation is (2x - 1)(x - 2)


Hope this helps!!

The first triangle is an enlargement of the second.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

large triangle:

base = 6.64 cm

hypotenuse = 8.31 cm

small triangle:

base = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

large triangle:

tan 37 = 5/base

0.7536 = 5/base

base = 6.64 cm

using the Pythagorean theorem:

hypotenuse² = 5² + 6.64²

hypotenuse² = 25 = 44.02 = 69.02

hypotenuse = 8.31 cm

small triangle:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

base² = 5² - 3²

base² = 25 - 9 = 16

base = 4 cm

Salutations!

12 \frac{2}{3}

- 9 \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{38}{3} 

Then,

- 9 \frac{3}{4}

- \frac{39}{4}

Next, our final answer:

= \frac{35}{12}

= 2 \frac{11}{12} 

Our decimal would be 2.916667

Hopefully This Helps!!!
