<span> FOIL is a mnemonic rule for multiplying binomial (that is, two-term) algebraic expressions. </span>
<span>FOIL abbreviates the sequence "First, Outside, Inside, Last"; it's a way of remembering that the product is the sum of the products of those four combinations of terms. </span>
<span>For instance, if we multiply the two expressions </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) </span>
<span>then the result is the sum of these four products: </span>
<span>x times x (the First terms of each expression) </span>
<span>x times 2 (the Outside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times x (the Inside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times 2 (the Last terms of each expression) </span>
<span>and so </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 </span>
<span>[where the ^ is the usual way we indicate exponents here in Answers, because they're hard to represent in an online text environment]. </span>
<span>Now, compare this to multiplying a pair of two-digit integers: </span>
<span>37 × 43 </span>
<span>= (30 × 40) + (30 × 3) + (7 × 40) + (7 × 3) </span>
<span>= 1200 + 90 + 280 + 21 </span>
<span>= 1591 </span>
<span>The reason the two processes resemble each other is that multiplication is multiplication; the difference in the ways we represent the factors doesn't make it a fundamentally different operation. </span>
The slope-intercept form is simply the way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) are immediately apparent. Often, this form is called y = mx + b form.
Answer:
The son is 20
The man is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up this equation with what we know. Let <em>m</em> stand for the Man's current age, and let <em>s</em> stand for his son's current age.
We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: <em>m = 3s</em>
Ten years ago means the man's current age <em>minus</em> 10 years. So it is <em>m-10</em>. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, <em>5(s-10)</em>
This can be written as: <em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.
<em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
<em>3s-10= 5s-50</em>
<em>40=2s</em>
<em>20 = s</em>
The son is <em>20</em> years old.
We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because <em>m=3s</em>, so just solve for m since you now know the value of <em>s.</em>
<em>m=3s</em>
<em>m=3(20)</em>
<em>m=60</em>
The man is <em>60</em> years old
You can write it as a proportion and then solve the proportion.
(2.5 hours is 150 minutes)
14 cars x cars
--------------- = -------------------
45 minutes 150 minutes
Then solve.
x=46.6666666
So that is about 47 cars
If you multiply 25×6×4 you should get 600.
hope this helps!
