I'm not sure how you obtained -5 as your answer but this is the mathematical explanation. hope this helps!
Answer:
x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this by factoring.
The numbers have to add to 10 and multiply to 21.
The first numbers that should come to mind are 7 and 3
(x+3)(x+7)
x+3 is the shorter side and there you go :)
6 for each month if you divide or 54 if you multiply or add all three months together
A. 60 degrees
b. 45 degrees
c. 36 degrees
To find your answer, you simply divide 360 (degrees in a circle) by x (number of slices per pizza)
Composite is a number that is NOT prime. So we want to find an odd perfect square that IS prime to be a counterexample.
√36 = Not odd
√49 = 7 Factors only 1 * 7 so it is prime
√81 = 9 Factors 1, 3, 9 composite
√225 = 15 Factors 1,3, 5,9,15, 25, 45, 75, 225 composite
Counterexample for 2∧n - 1 Is prime
2^6 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63 NOT PRIME Factors are: 1, 3, 7, 9,21, 63
2^5 - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31 Prime
2^3 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 Prime
2^2 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 Prime
