A. 2

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A composite number can be formed if you multiply two smaller positive integers. So the result is also a positive integer. Let's test each option:

Option A.

\frac{236}{2}=118 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ 236=2\times 118

236 can be formed by multiplying two smaller positive integers that are 2 and 118.

Option B.

\frac{236}{3}=78.67 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer

Option c.

\frac{236}{7}=33.71 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer

Option d.

\frac{236}{7}=39.33 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer

<em>Only Option A meets the requirements.</em>

<u>Answer:</u>

Option(a)

You can know that 236 is a composite number because it is divisible by 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

A composite number is a number which is a positive integer and non prime in nature i.e it is divisible by number other than 1 and itself.

Since the given number 236 is divisible by 2 and gives 118 on dividing by 2

\frac{236}{2} = 118

where it an positive integer and it is a composite number.So, option A is the right answer and other option wont result in an integer.

Write a slope-intercept form equation for a line that passes through (0,4) and (2,-2).
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y then

x + y = 15 → (1)

xy = 36 → (2)

From (1) : y = 15 - x → (3)

substitute y = 15 - x into (2)

x(15 - x) = 36

15x - x² = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

15x - x² - 36 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 and arrange in standard form )

x² - 15x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

substitute these values into (3) for corresponding value of y

x = 3 → y = 15 - 3 = 12

x = 12 → y = 15 - 12 = 3

Hence the 2 numbers are 3 and 12

What should you do first when simplifying an expression that involved
7nadin3 [17]
The first thing that you do when simplifying an expression with the variable’s values known is to distribute the values. EXAMPLE:
3(7x+9)+6(-16x-40); distribute:
21x+27-96x-240; combine like terms:
(21x+(-96x))+(27+(-240))——-> -75x-213; now plug in the values and solve: -75(6)-213=-663
