(3x+2) (x-7)
FOIL
first 3x*x = 3x^2
outer 3x*-7 = -21x
inner = 2*x = 2x
last 2*-7 = -14
add them together = 3x^2 -21x+2x -14
combine like terms 3x^2 -19x -14
Check the picture below.
notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.
but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.
The last answer choice is correct
Answer:
198
Step-by-step explanation:
If you take any 3-digit number and change the numbers around and subtract them you will always get 198.
<span>-15 + n = -27
Add 15 to both sides so that the only thing remaining on one side is the variable n.
Final Answer: n= -12</span>
