Set the argument (x+1) equal to zero.
Ab + 2a + 5b + 10
= a(b + 2) + 5(b + 2)
= (b + 2) (a + 5)
Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4
I think 2,3,4 or B,C,D would be correct.
The area of a triangle is (b•h)/2
And the area of a rectangle and parallelogram would just be b•h
1) 8(6) = 48/2 =24
2) 9(10 2/3) = 96/2 =48
3) 19.2(2.5) = 48
4) 16(3) = 48
Hope this is right and hope it helps. Have a good day
