$= x ^{2} - 3x - 18 \\ =x ^{2} - (6 - 3)x - 18 \\ = x ^{2} - 6x + 3x - 18 \\ = x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) \\ = (x - 6)(x + 3)$

Need help with number 43 and 45 and need to show the work

Alex787 [66]

43:
   Negative temperatures are basically the same as normal ones, although they go below zero, so they are still the same distance apart from zero, just on the left side of the number line.

      To find the answer find the difference between 30.5°C and 0 (which is 30.5).

      Next, find the difference between -122.2°C and zero (122.2)

   Finally, add 122.2 + 30.5 to find the total distances from the zero combined for the full distances apart from each other.

   (We add them because -122.2 to the left of zero, and 30.5 is on the right)

      You should get 152.7 as your answer.

45:
   I'm guessing since it is asking for the deepest point (-5315) from sea level (0), the answer is -5,315 feet

   *Remember 5,315 is negative because numbers below sea level are all negative*

   So the answer should be -5,315 feet deep. (I'm not sure how to show your work for that I'm guessing it is 0 - 5,315 at the slightest).

*Hope this all helped :)*

At lunch 3 1/4 small pizzas were equally divided amping students. If each student ate 1/4 of a pizza, how many students were fed

Vilka [71]

Answer:

13 students were fed

Step-by-step explanation:

now first in order to count we will have to turn 3 1/4 into a whole number which means we will have to multiply the denomintor by 3 and add it to the numerator which is 1

4 x 3= 12 ..... 12 + 1 = 13

13/4 and the denominator always stays the same

and now to count we will have to divide 13/4 divided by 1/4

now instead of dividing you can just multiply them by switching the denominator and numerator 1/4 to 4/1

13/4 x 4/1

52/4

C+ax=dx this one has all variables and no numbers

sergeinik [125]

That's OK, but you have not said which variable you want to solve it for.

To solve for 'x':
 c + ax = dx

Subtract c from each side: ax = dx - c

Subtract dx from each side: ax - dx = -c

Factor the left side: x (a - d) = -c

Divide each side by (a - d) : x = -c / (a - d) or x = c / (d - a) .

To solve for 'c': 
 c + ax = dx

Subtract ax from each side and factor: c = x (d - a) 

To solve for 'd': 
 c + ax = dx

Divide each side by 'x': d = c/x + a .

To solve for 'a':
 c + ax = dx

Subtract 'c' from each side: ax = dx - c

Divide each side by 'x': a = d - c/x .

barry has 18 more marbles than heidi.if barry has 92 marbles,write and solve an equation to determine the number of marbles heid

Basile [38]

N= Heidi's marbles
92 - n =18 (Barry's 92 marbles - whatever Heidi has = 18 marbles difference)

92 -n +n = 18 +n (I added n to each side)
92 = 18+n
92 -18 = 18-18 + n (I subtracted 18 from both sides)
74 = n Heidi has 74 marbles
