Answer:

z = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of x and y is 11, then;

x+y/2 = 11

x+y = 2 + 11

x+y = 22 .... 1

similarly, if average of x, y and z is 5, then;

x+y+z/3 = 5

x+y+z = 3*5

x+y+z = 15

Since x+y = 22

22 + z = 5

z = 5 - 22

z = -17

Hence the value of z is -17

Factorise x(6x - 5y) - 4(6x - 5y)^2

Fed [463]

Answer:

(6x-5y)(20y-23x)

Step-by-step explanation:

x(6x - 5y) - 4(6x - 5y)^2

= (6x-5y)(x-4(6x-5y))

= (6x-5y)(x-24x+20y)

= (6x-5y)(20y-23x)

Solve the equation using square roots.

Virty [35]

Answer: LAST OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following equation:

$6x^{2}=54$

2. Then you must solve for x, as following:

$x^{2}=54/6\\x^{2}=9\\x=\sqrt{9}\\x=+/-3$

Therefore, as you can see above, the answer for the exercise is the last option.
