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!

Answer:

A. Answer is 2263.

Checkpoint 1 is -86 Checkpoint 4 is 2177

Subtract -86 from 2177....2177-(-86)

=2263

2263 is how much higher checkpoint 1 (-86) is from checkpoint 4 (2177)

B. 239 FEET.

the altitude of the hill must be subtracted by the depth of the ckeckpoint(2)(-189)

therefore the altitude of the hill comes out to be 428-189=239feet.

therefore,the actual altitude of the hill is 239 feet.

Find the slope line (- 6, 1), (4, 8)

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Remember:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

☆We just plug in now!

$m = \frac{8 - 1}{4 - ( - 6)} = \frac{7}{10}$

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 2x − y = 9?

Elodia [21]

You can try by plugging each ordered pair and seeing if the equation comes out true.

(5, 1)

2 * 5 - 1 = 9

That's correct so C is the correct answer.

Oxana [17]

First question:

1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)

Second question:

1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a. 2116 miles

b. 105.8 gallons

c. $305.76

d. cost per gallon = total cost / number of gallons = total cost/105.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The round-trip distance is the sum of the distances there and back. It is double the one-way distance.

round-trip distance = 2 × one-way distance

round-trip distance = 2 × 1058 miles = 2116 miles

The gas used will be the distance divided by miles per gallon.

gas used = round-trip distance / miles-per-gallon

gas used = (2116 mi)/(20 mi/gal) = 105.8 gal

The cost of gas will be the product of cost per gallon and number of gallons.

cost of gas = cost-per-gallon × gallons

cost of gas = $2.89/gal × 105.8 gal = $305.762 ≈ $305.76

The relation used in the previous step can be used to find the cost per gallon. Divide that equation by gallons to get ...

(cost of gas)/gallons = cost-per-gallon

For the same trip, the number of gallons is 105.8, so the equation becomes ...

cost-per-gallon = (cost of gas)/105.8
