I'll just factor the above equation.
x² + 18x + 80
x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10 Correct pair
(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80
x+8 = 0
x = -8
x+10 = 0
x = -10
x = -8
(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0
(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0
I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.
Answer:
The expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105 and the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
It is given that if ball lands on 29 players will get $140 otherwise casino will takes $4.
The probability of winning is 1/38. So, the probability of loss is 37/38.
Now, find the expected value of the game to the player as shown:



Hence, the expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105.
Now find the expect to loss if played the game 1000 times.
1000×(-$0.2105)=-$210.5
Therefore, the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.
let the other 2 sides be x and x - 3 , then
12 + x + x - 3 = 31
2x + 9 = 31 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11 and x - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8
The 3 sides are 12, 11, 8
with shortest side 8
