Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x - 45 = 15x - 24 => (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21 => (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 => (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

Francesca wants to convert 1 meter to feet. Use what you know about customary measures to explain how she could do this.

Volgvan

Turn the feet into meters 1 meter = 100cm and if there is 12cms in a foot than divide 100cm by 12cm and you get 8.3ft

Answer:

Factorized

$=(2x-8)(x-3)$

Roots : 4 , 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is to factorize :

$2x^2 - 14x + 24 = 2x^2 -6x-8x +24$

$=2x(x-3)-8(x-3)\\=(2x-8)(x-3)$

If it is to solve for x :

$2x^2 -1 4x + 24 = 0\\(2x-8)(x-3)=0\\2x - 8 = 0 \ , \ x - 3 = 0\\2x = 8 \ , \ x = 3\\x = 4 , 3$
