Answer:
b = 3, which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0.
Step-by-step explanation:

The minus common multiply must be (b-3)*(b+3) = b² - 9

7b - 21 + 5b + 15 = 10b
2b = 6
b = 3
Which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0. So this solution is invalid.
Answer:
6 7/8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the entertainment segments are each x minutes long. Then, we have the equation:
x + x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x = 15 - 1 1/4
We need a common denominator. 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 15 = 60/4, so we now have:
60/4 - 5/4 = 55/4. Then: 2x = 55/4
Divide by 2 from both sides:
(55/4) / 2 = 55/8 = 6 7/8
Thus, each entertainment segment is 6 7/8 minutes long.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
49y² - x² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , then
49y² - x²
= (7y)² - x²
= (7y - x )(7y + x) → A
Answer: Rico is right.
(-1)(3x + 5)²
Step-by-step explanation: If it were the difference of two squares, the -30x would not be there.
It makes sense to factor out (-1) fry the trinomial, leaving all positive terms.
Then factor 9x² + 30x + 25 as
(3x + 5)²
Answer: x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(6x+5)=94
(2)(6x)+(2)(5)=94(Distribute)
12x+10=94
Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.
12x+10−10=94−10
12x=84
Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.
12x
12
=
84
12
x=7
