Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer:
<em>48</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
60% of 80 is the same as 60% times 80.
60% of 80 =
= 60% * 80
= 0.60 * 80
= 48
When dealing with roots, we want to factor to see if it's possible
now since we're dealing with square roots, we circle every pair of numbers we see in the final factoring
so..
now for every circled pair, we take only 1 of the 2 circled and bring it outside
anything left uncircled stays inside the root
so..
now simply multiply
Answer:
x=4
y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y=12
x−y=2
In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.
2x+2y=12,x−y=2
To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.
2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2
Simplify.
2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4
Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.
2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4
Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.
2y+2y=12−4
Add 2y to 2y.
4y=12−4
Add 12 to −4.
4y=8
Divide both sides by 4.
y=2
Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
x−2=2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
x=4
The system is now solved.
x=4,y=2
Correct choice is B) x=4.
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
(9x + 10)° = 136°
9x + 10 = 136
9x = 126
x = 14
