Do you have answer choices?
4x-3=5y
it would be : 4x - 5y = 3
We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
From the picture you have a = 10 and c = 15.
Now you have:
10^2 + b^2 = 15^2
Simplify:
100 + b^2 = 225
Subtract 100 from both sides:
b^2 = 125
Take the square root of both sides:
b = √125
b = 11.2
False the new perimeter is half of the original.
