the factor for this expression is 7
I got the factors of 40 but both numbers do not add up to 11. Negative numbers are not considered because the product and sum are positive numbers.
1 x 40 = 40 1 + 40 = 41
2 x 20 = 40 2 + 20 = 22
4 x 10 = 40 4 + 10 = 14
5 x 8 = 40 5 + 8 = 13
I also got the addends of 11 and solved each set to get the product
1 + 10 = 11 1 x 10 = 10
2 + 9 = 11 2 x 9 = 18
3 + 8 = 11 3 x 8 = 24
4 + 7 = 11 4 x 7 = 28
5 + 6 = 11 5 x 6 = 30
(-1,1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (1 - (-1) = 3/(1 + 1) = 3/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = 3/2(1) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
4 - 3/2 = b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b
equation is y = 3/2x + 5/2...but we need it in standard form
y = 3/2x + 5/2
-3/2x + y = 5/2.....multiply both sides by -2
3x - 2y = -5 <==== ur standard form equation
Answer: Second option.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is important to remember the Distributive Property in order to solve this exercise.
The Distributive property states that:

In this case you have the following expression provided in the exercise:

Then, in order to write this expression in another way, you can apply the Distributive property. Multiply each number inside the parentheses by "t".
Applying this procedure, you get:

Notice that this expression matches with the one shown in the the second option.
Lets name the largest number as x
smallest number is half the largest , therefore its x/2 = 0.5x
then middle number is 3/4 the largest , therefore its 3/4x = 0.75x
the sum of the three numbers are 162
the three numbers added are
x + 0.5x + 0.75x = 162
2.25 x = 162
x = 72
the largest number is 72
then middle number 0.75 x = 0.75 x 72 = 54
smallest number is 0.5x = 0.5 x 72 = 36
answer is - 36,54,72
