We notice a factor of 2x in both
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
trial and error
(5x-3)(x+1) yeilds 5x^2+2x-3, nope
(5x+3)(x-1) yeilds 5x^2-2x-3, nope
(5x-1)(x+3) yeilds 5x^2+14x-3, nope
(5x+1)(x-3) yeilds 5x^2-14x-3, nope
simplest form is
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
Answer:
12 cm and 24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is divided in the ratio 2 : 4 = 2x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )
The sum is therefore
2x + 4x = 36
6x = 36 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 6
Thus
GP = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12 cm
PR = 4x = 4 × 6 = 24 cm
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since
have the same denominators, we add them first. We then add
to the result.
Convert to improper fraction: 2 5/12 = 29/12
Divide 29 by 12: 29/12 = 2.42
2.42 inches
