What two factors of 48 add up to -16? -4 and -12

So the factored form would be (x-4)(x-12)

Answer:

$(x-12)(x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2 - 16x + 48$

In the given expression , the product is 48 and sum is -16

-4 times -12 gives us 48

-4 plus -12 gives us -16. So two factors are -4 and -12

Beak the middle term using factors

$x^2 -4x-12x+48$

Group first two terms and last two terms

$(x^2 -4x)+(-12x+48)$

FActor out GCF from each group

$x(x -4)-12(x-4)$

FActor out x-4 that is in common

$(x-12)(x-4)$

The corresponding sides of `DeltaABC` and `DeltaDEF` have equal lengths. The area of `DeltaABC` is 4 square units, and the longe

MArishka [77]

Since for the two triangles, the three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, then the triangles are congruent and their areas are equal.

area = 4 square units

Mark incorrectly solved the inequality -4(5/2+3/2x) > 8. His work is shown. Which step shows an error based on the inequality

aliya0001 [1]

Answer : The incorrect step is, (A) step 1: -10 + 6x > 8

Step-by-step explanation :

The given expression is:

$-4(\frac{5}{2}+\frac{3}{2}x)>8$

Now solving this expression step by step.

First -4 distributed over parentheses.

$(-4\times \frac{5}{2})+(-4\times \frac{3}{2}x)>8$

Now solving bracket term, we get:

$-10-6x>8$

Now taking like terms together, we get:

$-6x>8+10$

$-6x>18$

$-x>3$

Now multiplying this expression by (-1), we get:

$x>-3$

Thus, the incorrect step is, (A) step 1: -10 + 6x > 8

Anna has 1/2 hour of free time. She divides the time equally between walking her dog and playing her favorite song on the piano.

vichka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1/2 hour free time

divide equally playing her favorite song and walking her dog

Free time = F

= 1/2 hour or 30 min

She divided equally her free time between walking her dog and palying her favorite song.

30 min / 2 = 15 min

She has 15 min to walk her dog and 15 min to play her favorite song.

If she played her song 3 times, then:

15 min / 3 = 5 min

Her favorite song lasts 5 min.
