So,
Since you can only take two one-credit courses every six months, you can earn 2 credits every six months, and 4 credits in one year. Multiplying that by 3, you get 12 credits in 3 years.
It will take 3 years to get the degree.
Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Secants ad Segments Theorem we can say;
(x + 7) (7) = (15 + 6) (6)
7x + 49 = (21) (6)
7x + 49 = 126
7x = 77
x = 11
Hope this helps!
