Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle, the midline joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and half as long, so
FB = EC/2
2x - 6 = 44/2
2x - 6 = 22
2x = 22 + 6
2x = 28
x = 28/2
x = 14
Answer:
y = 4(x+6)(x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x² + 16x - 48, factor out the 4
y = 4(x² + 4x - 12), find factors of 12
Factors of 12:
1*12, 2*6, 3*4; find a pair that sums to 4x or 4
6-2 = 4, since 12 is a negative number, a number in the factor must be negative, in this case, making 2 negative, would make 6-2 = 4
y = 4(x+6)(x-2)
Answer:
x=50 and y=20

Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
27. -(a-3)
28. (b-1)(b+3)
29. (c+4)(c+5)
30. d(d+5)
31. -(3/4)(2e-5)
Sorry - I don't have time to enter the details. Look for areas where the expressions can be factored in a manner that forms as many equivalent expressions in both the numerator and denominator.
For example: In problem 30:
(5d-20)/(d^2+d-20) * [??]/20d = 1/4
Factor:
<u>(5(d-4))</u> <u>d(d+5)</u> = 1/4
(d-4)(d+5<u>)</u> 20d
The (d-4), d+5, and d terms cancel, leaving
5/20 = 1/4
