Answer:
5=3+2
7=5+2
9=7+2
so this is 3,5,7,9
Step-by-step explanation:
The alphabet has 26 letters
Answer:
-14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to turn each mixed number into an improper fraction. So you get -10/3 + 12/5. Then you want to get the same denominator, and the LCD happens to be 15. You get -50/15 + 36/15. Addition is commutative, so you can do something like this: 36/15 - 50/15. You can do 36-50=-14, and then add the denominator to get -14/15.
Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
