Answer: The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4, to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation (1) 5x − 4y = 28

Equation (2) 3x - 9y = 30

to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, we should multiply  equation (1) by 9 and equation (2) by -4 such that

9(5x − 4y) =9 (28)⇒45x-36y=252

-4(3x - 9y) = -4(30)⇒ -12x+36y= -120

Now adding both equations, y-term eliminated and we get, 45x-12x=132

⇒33x=132⇒x=4.

Factor 2x 2 - 10x + 8 completely.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

2(x-1)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by dividing each term by 2 and pulling the 2 to the front.

2x^2-10x+8 = 2(x^2-5x+4)

This is a trinomial. Trinomials are three term algebraic expressions typically featuring variables to exponent powers. To break these trinomials down we factor them using the diamond method or GCF. The diamond method states that for a trinomial ax^2+bx+c multiply a*c then find two numbers which multiply to this number and add to b. When you find those numbers, write them as (x-/+ number)(x-/+number).

x^2-5x+4

a=1, c=4

ac=4 and add to b=-5 which -1 and -4 satisfy

The factored form is 2(x-1)(x-4).

Look carefully at the triangle solve for x ​
luda_lava [24]

The 3 inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees. Looking at the larger outside triangle the top angle is 30 and the lower right angle is 60.

30 + 60 = 90

The lower left angle needs to be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.

That angle is split into two angles with one given as 70.

This means X needs to be 90 - 70 = 20 degrees.

x = 20

Describe how to estimate a non-perfect square root to the hundredths place without a calculator
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

First, estimate between two whole numbers by finding the perfect squares nearest to the target number. Next, identify which value the non-perfect square root is closer to, then use the iterative process to approximate further to the tenths place, and then further to the hundredths place.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely; Victoria<3
