I believe it's 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace each letter in the expression with the assigned value.

First, replace each letter in the expression with the value that has been assigned to it. To make your calculations clear and avoid mistakes, always enclose the numbers you're substituting inside parentheses. The value that's given to a variable stays the same throughout the entire problem, even if the letter occurs more than once in the expression.

However, since variables "vary", the value assigned to a particular variable can change from problem to problem, just not within a single problem.

Perform the operations in the expression using the correct order of operations.

Once you've substituted the value for the letter, do the operations to find the value of the expression.

X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

Answer:

3(x - 12)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 30x - 72 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² - 10x - 24) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2 , since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10 , thus

x² - 10x - 24 = (x - 12)(x + 2) and

3x² - 30x - 72 = 3(x - 12)(x + 2)

Answer:

$130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

$|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72$

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

$|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\$
