Factoring when a=1 with and without a GCF What is x2+4x-117

Mathematics

quester [9]3 years ago
4 0

Step 1: Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order; the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power.

Step 2 : Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

Step 3 : Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.

Step 4 : List all of the factors from Step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x.

Step 5 : After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3.

Step 6 : Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5.

Step 7 : Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping.

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 85
insens350 [35]
First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:   Let x = number of large boxes        y = number of small boxes   "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1] Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:     (pounds per box)*(number of boxes) So,   pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds                  "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"          (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2] It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables. Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:    x = 115 - y          [from eq1]      50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]      5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]      5750 - 25y = 4125       -25y = -1625          y = 65             [divide both sides by (-25)]   There are 65 small boxes. Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:   x = 115 - y   x = 115 - 65   x = 50    There are 50 large boxes.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 5/26

Part B: 5/26+ 1/2 which is 18/26 or 9/13

Part C: 5/26 +21/25. 'without replacing' means there is one less option in the bag. So denominator becomes 26-1=25. Numerator is 21 because there are a total of 21 consonants in the alphabet. Since we removed a vowel and not a consonant, it will remain 21.

I think of a number, add 8 to it and the result is 14. Find the number​
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this would be:

n+8=14, since we are adding 8 to a number and getting 14

To solve, isolate the variable n, by subtracting 8 from both sides

n+8=14

n+8-8=14-8

n=6

The number is 6
