Jen factored x² - 4x - 21 as (x - 3)(x + 7) What did she do wrong?

Jen should have done (x+3)(x-7) bc the middle value of the original equation needs to be equal to the two numerical values added together from the factored equation

Answer:

She didn't put the sign's in the proper place, it should be ( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 ) = x² + 7x - 3x - 21 = x² + 4x - 21

( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 ) = x² - 7x + 3x - 21 = x² - 4x - 21

Tom has 12 cards with the numbers 1 to 12 on them.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total no of cards = 12 with numbers 1 to 12

We need to find the probability of getting 5.

Probability = favourable outcomes/total no of outcomes

Favourable outcomes is 5 as it come one time

Total no of outcome = 12 (total no of cards)

So,

$P(5)=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Hence, the probability of getting 5 is 5/12.

8 is subtracted from twice a number

ankoles [38]

Answer:

2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "from" tells you that the first part of the sentence should be at the back of the equation because you're taking from the product of 2 times a number, the number is unknown so it is known as "x."
