Answer:

9x^2 - 9x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 1)(3x – 4)

Here you can use the FOIL method (FOIL stands for: First, Outer, Inner and Last)

First you multiply 3x by 3x since these are the First inside both binomials.

3x * 3x = 9x^2

Then you multiply 3x by -4 since these are the Outer inside both binomials.

3x * -4 = -12x

Then you multiply 1 by 3x since these are the Inner inside both binomials.

1 * 3x = 3x

Then you multiply 1 by -4 since these are the Outer inside both binomials.

1 * -4 = -4

And finally add everything together:

9x^2 + (-12x) + 3x + (-4)

Since adding a negative number is the same as subtracting it:

9x^2 - 12x + 3x - 4

We can now simplify this a little by adding all the x's together:

9x^2 - (12x + 3x) - 4 =

9x^2 - 9x - 4

Hope I could help you understand!

Answer:

9x^2-9x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x*3x=9x^2

3x*-4=-12x

1*3x=3x

1*-4=-3

9x^2-12x+3x-3

9x^2-9x-3

Here’s the answer and each step I took to solve it. With the example I made on the side just continue to repeat that for each one to get the answers. You just replace that one number for the X to take the place for the next X value as you go down the table solving them.

In this fulcrum, for the weights to be balance, what do the distances d1 and d2 have to be if the overall length is 12 feet?

mel-nik [20]

For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
