Answer:
(3x-4)(x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is in the form
ax²+bx+c.
To factor this, we find factors of a·c that sum to b; this means factors of 3(20) = 60 that sum to -19:
60 = 1(60) or -1(-60); 2(30) or -2(-30); 3(20) or -3(-20); 4(15) or -4(-15); 5(12) or -5(-12); 6(10) or -6(-10). The only of these that sum to -19 are -4 and -15. This means we will split up -19x into -4x and -15x:
3x²-4x-15x+20
Next we group the first two terms and the last two terms:
(3x²-4x)+(-15x+20)
Factor out the GCF of each group. For the first group, this is x:
x(3x-4)
For the second group, this is -5:
-5(3x-4)
The common factor for these two groups is (3x-4):
(3x-4)(x-5)
Karry ran 4.9 miles more than Tricia. I determined the difference but subtracting the miles to see how many more karry ran.<span />
So the perimeter(P) of a rectangle would be:
P= 2L+2W
L being the length and W being the width.
The problem says the length is 4cm more than the width, so L= 4+W.
So if we substitute L with 4+W, we get:
P= 2(4+W) + 2W
Use the Distributive Property
P= 8+2W+2W
Combine like terms
P=8+4W
Since we're given the perimeter, we could replace P with 52. So:
52=8+4W
Subtract 8 to both sides
44=4W
Divide 4 to both sides
11=W
Therefore, the width is 11cm
And since the length is 4cm more than the width, we could add 4cm to 11cm to find that the length is 15cm
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 15cm by 11cm
When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,
y=kx
Plug in (5,100)
100=k(5)
K=20
You really just have to do 12.4 x 2 = 24.8 because half of 24.8 is 12.4.
