Answer: for question 1, i think you have to put yes because absolute value is always positive so it´s 6.5 and the opposite of -6.5 is 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18 is the GCF
Step-by-step explanation:
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Factors of 54: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
Carl is incorrect. Dave ate a higher fraction of snack bars, by 0.2 snack bars.
Carl had .5 left of a snack bar.
Dave had .3 left of a snack bar.
Tony had .5 left of a snack bar.
Gary had .0 left of a snack bar.
Tryone had .7 left of a snack bar.
If we add the above snack bars, there is a total of two remaining snack bars, meaning they only ate 12 of 14 snack bars.
The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150
You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.
x + y = 31
x = 31 - y
Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0 Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0 y - 25 = 0
y = 6 y = 25
When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)
Answer: x+2 / x+ 9, x = -2, x=-9 ( A )
Solution:
Breakdown the problem into two sets
Step 1: simplify x^2 -10x - 24
Factorize the above equation,
Multiply the last term (24) with the first term coefficient i.e. 1
Step 2: Then, find the factors of 24 in a way that when you add or subtract it sums up to 10
x2 - 12x + 2x - 24 >>>> (x2-12x) + (2x-24) >>> take common
>>>> x(x-12) + 2( x-12)
Step 3: (x + 2) (x - 12)
Step 4: Step 1: simplify x^2 - 3x - 108 using the same steps
x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 >>>> take common x(x-12) + 9 ( x -12) >>>
(x + 9) (x - 12) final product
Now, Simplify the equation as a whole
(x + 2) (x - 12) / (x + 9) (x - 12) Note: (x - 12) cancels out
= (x + 2) / (x + 9) with x= -2 and x= -9
