————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
Answer:
Option A is correct.
10 square centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete Question
The complete Question is attached in the first attached image.
Lydia cut out her initial from a piece of construction paper. How many square centimeters of construction paper are used to make Lydia's initial?
A) 10 square centimeters
B) 11 square centimeters
C) 15 square centimeters
D) 22 square centimeters
Solution
From the second attached image, it is evident that we can split the L-shaped figure into two rectangles of dimensions (3 cm by 1 cm) and (7 cm by 1 cm)
The total area of the figure is thus
(3 × 1) + (7 × 1) = 10 cm²
Hope this Helps!!!
The place value is a hundred thousand, as there are 5 digits following the eight.
Step-by-step explanation:
(4s + 2) × (5s² + 10s +3)
we know immediately the first and the last term of the result, because there is only one operation to build them :
20s³ and 6.
so, the first answer option is already eliminated.
let's multiply
4s×5s² + 4s×10s + 4×3s + 10s² + 20s + 6
20s³ + 40s² + 12s + 10s² + 20s + 6
20s³ + 50s² + 32s + 6
so, the last answer option is correct.
Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-13 = 7x+11; (because it's a rectangle)
8x - 7x = 11 + 13; (moving xs to one side, the rest to the other)
x = 24
