An isosceles triangle. This triangle has 2 sides that are equal.
So he started with 3/4 lb and ended up with 2/3 of that so 2/3 of 3/4
'of' can be roughly translated as multiply
so 2/3 times 3/4 =6/12=1/2 lb left
or you know that there are 3 out of 4 parts pound left so 2 out of 3 parts of nuts is = 2/4 or 1/2 lb
The answer to this equation is six.
Factor the following:
x^2 - 4 x + 3
The factors of 3 that sum to -4 are -1 and -3. So, x^2 - 4 x + 3 = (x - 1) (x - 3):
Answer: (x - 1) (x - 3)
