Answer:
for Lena
C = 3x C + 5x
for Patrick
C = 9x C = 10x
for total C = 12x + 15x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's have two numbers x (larger) and y (smaller). from the info above...
x + y = 3
5x + 4y = 29
so that means y=3 - x. we can sub this in
5x + 4(3-x) = 29
5x + 12 - 4x = 29
x = 17
then y=3-x=3-17=-14
so it's 17 and -14
Rational numbers are B. sometimes natural numbers. Another way to say rational numbers is fractions. Natural numbers are just regular positive and whole integers, such as 1, 2, 3, etc.
2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0..divide by 2
x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
x^2 + 4x = 6...add 4 to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 6 + 4
(x + 2)^2 = 10....<== ur constant is 10
x + 2 = (+-)sqrt 10
x = -2 (+ - ) sqrt 10
x = -2 + sqrt 10
x = -2 - sqrt 10
So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:

Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses: 
<u>Now you can rewrite this as
, which is your final answer.</u>
