It would be 25.

x multiplied by 2 is 10. Hint hint, it's 5.

5 x 5 (boys) is 25.

Hope it helps!

Juliette [100K]
Factor
in form
ax²+bx+c form
use the ac method
1. mulitply a and c
2. factor the result such that the 2 factors add to b
3. split b into those 2 factors
4. group the terms
5. undistribute common factors
6. undistribute again





first multiply ac
4 times 5=20
now
what 2 numbers multiply to 20 and add to 12
2 and 10
4x²+2x+10x+5
group
(4x²+2x)+(10x+5)
undistribute
2x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)
undistribute the (2x+1)
(2x+1)(2x+5) is factored form whih you have there, nice

Combine as indicated by the signs. 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

26 + y

----------

   9y


Step-by-step explanation:

Your using parentheses here would remove a great deal of ambiguity.  Looking at your 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y, I have interpreted it to mean:

(8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y.  For example, without parentheses, your 8-y/3y might be interpreted differently, as 8   -   y/(3y), or 8 - 1/3.

Looking at (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y again, we see three different denominators:  3y, 9y and 6 y.  The LCD here is 9y.  Multiplying all three terms of  (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y by the LCD, we get:

3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y.  We must now divide this by the LCD:

3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y

--------------------------

            9y

Next we need to perform the indicated multiplication:

24 - 3y + y + 2 + 3y

----------------------------

            9y

and then to combine like terms:

24 + 2 - 3y + y + 3y,           26 + y

----------------------------   or    -----------

              9y                             9y

If the width of a rectangle is 3 yards less than it’s length and the perimeter is 130 yards, what is the length and the width.
Marianna [84]

Answer: P=130

2W +2L=130

2(31) + 2(34)=130

W=31

L=34

Step-by-step explanation:

P=130

2L + 2W

W=L-3

Add all of the sides together to get perimeter.

2(L-3) + 2L=130

2L-6+2L=130

4L-6+6=130+6

4L=136

4L/4=136/4

L=34

W=L-3

W=34-3

W=31

Is k=3 a reduction or enlargement (dilation)
Verizon [17]

Answer:

It is an enlargement because k=3 is larger than 1. Anything that equals less than one (ex. k=0.25) would be a reduction.
