Answer:

(8x+4) ( x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we can't factor out the 8 and solve because if we do the -20 and -36 will be decimals.

So we do this

8 * -20 = -160

We need to find 2 number that multiplies  to -160 and adds to -36

-40 and 4 fit this category

they add to -36 and multiply to -160

Now we write the equation as

8x^2 - 40x + 4x -20

(8x^2-40x) (4x-20)

8x(x-5) + 4(x-5)

(8x+4) ( x-5)

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Here we have the table for the 8 students that said yes.

a) Out of the 8 students, 5 purchased their favorite food more than four times a month.

The proportion will be p = 5/8, and this can not be simplified anymore because 5 is a prime number and 5 is not a factor of 8.

b) The mean time will be equal to the amount of each of the 8 purchased their favourite food divided by the total sample (8)

This is:

m = (6 + 4 + 3 + 8 +6 + 9 + 4 + 7)/8 = 5.875

c) Out of a sample of 20, 8 buy lunch regularly, this is; p1 = 8/20

The amount of students that regularly buy food will be:

p1*1000 = (8/20)*1000 = 400

And of those 400, 5/8 buy their favourite lunch more than 4 times per month:

(5/8)*400 = 250

d: The mean number of times that a student regularly buys salad.

We have 3 students that regularly buy salad (so we only do the math with those 3)

The mean is (8 + 6 + 7)/3 = 7

So for the students that regularly buy salad, the mean of times that the buy salad in a month is 7 times.

The answer really depends on what b is. Unless you give me a number for what b equals I can’t solve it.

Factorise (2t-7)²-(5t-4)² <br>with working pls​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33+12t−21t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2t-7)²-(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (2t-7)².

4t^2−28t+49−(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (5t-4)².

4t^2−28t+49−(25t^2−40t+16)

To find the opposite of 25t^2

−40t+16, find the opposite of each term.

4t^2−28t+49−25t^2−40t+16

Combine 4t^2  and −25t^2  to get −21t^2.

−21t^2−28t+49+40t−16

Combine −28t and 40t to get 12t.

−21t^2+12t+49−16

Subtract 16 from 49 to get 33.

−21t^2+12t+33

Swap terms to the left side.

33+12t−21t^2

I hope this helped!
