For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.
y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.
We write the system of equations:
x + y = 60
y = (1/2) x
Solving the system we have:
x = 40 minutes
y = 20 minutes
Answer:
it take her to wash them by herself about:
y = 20 minutes
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is D, because when you divide x by a negative the sign changes
Carlos made the mistake that he did not combine like terms (3 x and 2 x) properly and did not use addition property of equality.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Carlos did the work as 3 x + 2 x - 6 = 24
We need to find his mistake that he made in above given.
Here, he did not add the like terms (3 x and 2 x)
3 x + 2 x = 5 x
Therefore, his work should be
5 x - 6 = 24
Also, he did not use addition property of equality. It means the equation remains same even though the same number gets added on both sides. It would be
5 x - 6 = 24
+ 6 = + 6
-----------------------
5 x = 30
Dividing 30 by 5, we get answer as '6'. Hence,
= 6
So, stated the above two are the mistakes found in carlos work.
Answer:
____________
the answer is B
___________
explanation
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
Group the first two terms and the last two terms.
(x^2 - 2x) - 3xy + 6y
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.
x(x - 2) - 3y (x - 2)
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x - 2
(x - 2) (x - 3y)
Answer:
Taking P(x) = x³-12x-16 as an example
Step-by-step explanation:
For a polynomial, if
x = a is a zero of the function, then (x − a) is a factor of the function.
We have two unique zeros:
−2 and 4. However, −2 has a multiplicity of 2, which means that the factor that correlates to a zero of −2 is represented in the polynomial twice.
Following how it's constructed
zero at -2, multiplicity 2
zero at 4, multiplicity 1
p(x)=x−(−2))²(x−4)¹
Thus,p(x)=(x+2)²(x−4)
Expand: p(x)=(x²+4x+4)(x−4)
p(x) =x³−12x−16
