Answer: she still has to cut off 19/16 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.
She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string. Converting 2 9/16 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 41/16 inches.
Therefore, the length of string that is left for her to cut off would be
15/4 - 41/16 = (60 - 41)/16
= 19/16 inches
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 4x+5x+20=x^2+x+12x+12
9x + 20 = 13x + 12
13x-9x = 20-12
4x = 8
x = 2
Answer:
I am pretty sure it would be B.
The sum of cubes is given as:
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Example for the sum of cubes:
64x³+y³ ⇒ This is the sum of cubes because each term; 64, x³, and y³ are cube numbers
By writing each term as an expression of cube numbers, we have:
(4x)³ + (y)³ ⇒ 64 is 4³
Use the factorization of the sum of cubes, we have:
(4x + y) ( (4x)²- 4xy + y²)
(4x + y) (16x² - 4xy + y²)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difference of cubes can be factorized as:
(x³ - y³) = (x - y)(x² + xy + y²)
Example
(125x³ - 8y³) = (5x - 2y) ((5x)² + (5x)(2y) + (2y)²)
= (5x - 2y) (25x² + 10xy + 4y²)
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...
Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.
2nd number= x+2
3rd number
=x+2+2
= x+4
sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4
114= 3x+6
3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)
3x= 108 (simplify)
x= 108 ÷3
x= 36
Thus, the smallest number is 36.
Let's check!
36+38+40= 114 ✓
