Answer:
x= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
y=4x-6
y=5x, so where ever you see y, put 5x there.
hence, 5x=4x-6
5x-4x=-6
x= -6
Answer: Carlos is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^5-250x^2
The first step is to factorize out 2x^2
2x^2(x^3-125)
This can be rewritten as
2x^2(x^3-5^3),
Recall, difference if cube (a^3-b^3)
= (a-b)(a^2 +ab + b^2)
from our equation,
a= x
b = 5.
So the difference of cubes will be
2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 5^2)]
=2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 25)]
Carlos followed these steps. So he is correct. Carlos is correct because he correctly factored the GCF, identified a and b, and applied the difference of cubes method.
Amber is incorrect because 125 is equal to b3, not b.
Bernie is incorrect because x2 is not the GCF of the polynomial. The GCF is 2x^2.
Answer:
Distance between P and R is 40.15 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Petrol kiosk P is 12 km due North of another petrol kiosk Q.
Bearing of a police station R is 135° from P and 120° from Q.
m∠QPR = 180° - 135° = 45°
m∠PQR = 120°
m∠PRQ = 180° - (m∠QPR +m∠PQR)
= 180° - (45° + 120°)
= 180° - 165°
= 15°
Now we apply sine rule in ΔPQR to measure the distance between P and R.



PR = 
PR = 40.15 km
Therefore, distance between P and R is 40.15 km.
