Answer:

Your answer would be (x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow the steps of factoring, first you need to set it up. I always start with the term with the variable first.

(x+_)(x+_)

And since we already know one of the factors, we can put that in our expression.

(x+6)(x+_)

Now remember the trick FOIL.

You multiply the FIRSTS together, then the OUTSIDES, then the INSIDES, and finally the LASTS.

To figure out our last blank we us this trick, but backwards. To get the 24 at the end of your expression x^2+2x-24 you multiply the LASTS together. So 6*_=-24. (remember the subtraction sign stays as a negative with the 24) That answer is -4

Hope that makes sense, and good luck!

X is less than or equal to 2 Write in interval notation.
Talja [164]
X is less than -2, so -2 is our largest value of the interval, so it goes on the right. Since there is no lower endpoint (it is ALL values less than -2), we put the negative infinity symbol on the left side. The curved end on -2 indicates an open interval

What is the reason that supports the statement made on line 5?​
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

V is given to be midpoint of WZ and XY

=> WV = VZ and XV = VY (1)

As opposite angles,

=> WVX = ZVY (2)

From (1) and (2), then

Triangle WXV = Triangle ZYV (SAS)

=> Option SAS is correct.

Hope this helps!

:)

E is the answer. Since it’s a 45 45 90 triangle the rules are the hypotenuse is equal to x squareroot of 2 while the two other sides are just equal to x. If Xv2= 32 then the two sides (x) must be equal to 16v2

Using the graphing function on your calculator, find the solution to the system
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

It has infinite solutions.

D. More than 1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{3y - 9x = -6} \atop {5y - 15x = -10}} \right. $

$\left \{ {{3y(-5) - 9x(-5) = -6(-5)} \atop {5y(3) - 15x(3) = -10(3)}} \right. $

$\left \{ {{-15y +45x = 30} \atop {15y - 45x = -30}} \right. $

0+0=0

or

5y = 15x - 10\\y = 3x - 2

3(3x-2) - 9x = -6

0=0
