Factor -1.8 out of 3.6b-9

<h3>Answer:   -1.8(-2b+5)</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Consider something like 2b+6 factoring to 2(b+3). When we distribute that outer 2 back inside the parenthesis, we're multiplying that 2 by everything inside. Factoring goes in reverse of this and we divide each term of 2b+6 by the GCF 2.

The same thing applies to this current problem as well.

Divide each term by the -1.8 we want to factor out.

  • (3.6b)/(-1.8) = -2b
  • (-9)/(-1.8) = 5

The results -2b and 5 will go inside the parenthesis. That's how we end up with -1.8(-2b+5)

You can use distribution to verify this

-1.8(-2b+5)

-1.8*(-2b) - 1.8*(5)

3.6b - 9

In a class in which the final course grade depends entirely on the average of four equally weighted 100-point tests, David has s
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The answer in interval notation is ( 73 ,  100 )

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call x and y the lower and upper values for David to get an average of 80 and 89 respectively, we can calculate these two values solving a pair of equations:

(81  +  92  + 74  +  x ) / 4  = 80     ⇒   (247  +  x  )/4 = 80

247  +  x  =  320    ⇒    x  =  320 - 247

x  =  73

And

(81  +  92  + 74  +  y ) / 4  = 89     ⇒   ( 247  +  y ) / 4  =  89

247   +  y  =   356

y  =  356  -  247

y  =  109

But tests are a 100-point test

Then the answer in interval notation is ( 73 ,  100 )

X squared+6x+5 what is this factorise
NISA [10]
Well, your question is basically;
x²+6x+5
   Well first you have to find two numbers that when added will give you +6 and when multiplied will give you 5. Well, in this case, the numbers are; (+1 and +5). So you add them to the equation. So;
x²+1x+5x+5
  Hope you noticed that 6x was removed. Anyway;
   You have to put the equation in two brackets with two terms in each
(x²+1x)+(5x+5)
   Next, you bring out what is commom in each bracket and use it to divide what is in the bracket
x(x+1)+5(x+1)
   Now you notice that the two things in the bracket are the same. They have to be.
Next, you put the terms outside the bracket together and choose one of the terms in a bracket. So;
(x+5) (x+1)
     So the equation factorised is (x+5) (x+1). But if you want to go ahead to find x, then you can say;
(x+5)                             (x+1)
x+5=0                             x+1=0
Take the +5 over            Take the +1 over the equal to, where it becomes -1. So;
the equal sign where      x=-1
it becomes -5. So;
x=-5                        OR    x=-1
   By the way, here's a little secret, the answers are always the opposite of the two numbers chosen at the beginning(+1 and +5). Hope i helped. If you have any more problems, let me know.
