Answer:
What goes in the blank is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we want to know what goes into the bracket when factorizing the expression above.
What we have a problem with is the terms x^2 - 4x + 4
We can rewrite this as;
x^2 -2x - 2x + 4
x(x-2) -2(x - 2)
That would thus be (x-2)^2
What goes into the bracket is thus the number 2
(x−a)(x−b)
=(x+−a)(x+−b)
=(x)(x)+(x)(−b)+(−a)(x)+(−a)(−b)
=x2−bx−ax+ab

=ab−ax−bx+x2</em></u></h2>
Answer:
a = 3, b = -1, c = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three numbers be a, b and c.
Equation 1: a + b + c = 12
Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31
Equation 3: 9b + c = 1
Equation 2 - Equation 1:
Equation 4: b + 2c = 19
Equation 3 times by the number 2
Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2
Equation 5 - Equation 4
17b = -17
b = -1
Substitute into Equation 4:
2c - 1 = 19
2c = 20
c = 10
Substitute into Equation 1:
a + b + c = 12
a - 1 + 10 = 12
a = 3
