Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the trinomial:

-4x^2-10x + 6

Factoring:

-4x^2-10x + 6\\Taking\,\,-2\,\,common:\\-2(2x^2+5x-3)\\Now\,\,factoring:\\-2(2x^2+6x-x-3)\\-2(2x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\-2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, the factored form of -4x^2-10x + 6 is -2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.

30% off 25: multiply 25 by .30 to find 30%: 7.5. Now subtract that from the sales price: 25-7.5=17.5
Do the same for store B: .40•30=12. 30-12=18.
So store A is better by $.50 :) hope this helps :)

All the 5th graders at Lincoln Elementary School will go on a field trip to the science museum. Counting all the children, teach
user100 [1]

The answer must be a whole number because for example how are you suppose to fit half a child on a bus that can hold 44 people when it already holds that amount.

It will always be a whole number because if there are several left over students they will be put in another bus with more empty seats.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y = 1/6x – 2? help pls very urgent
valina [46]
Solution:

1) Simplify \frac{1}{6}x to \frac{x}{6}
y=\frac{x}{6}-2

2) Add 2 to both sides
y+2=\frac{x}{6}
​​
3) Multiply both sides by 6
(y+2)\times 6=x

4) Regroup terms
6(y+2)=x

5) Switch sides
x=6(y+2)

Done!
