Mathematics

Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x - 3) + 7(x - 3)

2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21

reduce

2x^2 + x - 21

if this is equal to 0 then:

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

factored:

(2x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

How that was done:

Divide the (2x^2) into (2x) and (x).

Divide the (-21) into (+7) and (-3). You choose these numbers so that their sum, when multiplied by (2x) and (-3), adds up to (+x).

pentagon [3]

Answer:

8 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked in the above question to find the most number of cookies that would be in the bag.

We solve the above question using the Greatest Common Factor method

We find the factors of 16, 24, 32

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then the greatest common factor is 8.

Therefore, the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag is 8 cookies

Hello need help please with Divide rational and simplify
aliina [53]
Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal so you can change the equation to this
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4}  \times  \frac{4}{4 - 2x}
And you can simplify by eliminating the fours and multiplying straight across
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4 - 2x}
You can pull out - 7 from the top and 2 from the bottom so you have this
\frac{ - 7(2  -  x)}{2(2 - x)}
And then you can cancel out to (2-x) to get an answer of
\frac{ - 7}{2}
