We can express this number in the standard form, which is simply 15xyz+10xy+5x. Alternatively, we can factor a 5 or an x out, receiving 5(3xyz+2xy+x) or x(15yz+10y+5). However, the most effective factorization is to factor out 5x, for a result of 5x(3yz+2y+1).
Answer:
<h3>
BC = 29</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Point B is between A and C and the points A, B, and C are collinear so:
AB + BC = AC
487 + 5x + 8x + 709 = 91
13x + 1196 = 91
- 1196 - 1196
13x = - 1105
÷13 ÷13
x = - 85
BC = 8x + 709 = 8(-85) + 709 = - 680 + 709 = 29
5. 152 divided by 16 (16 ounces equal a pound) = 9.5lbs
