Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
GCF = 3
Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)
3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)
Simplify each term in parentheses
3(x^2 - 4x - 5)
Factor x^2 - 4x - 5
<u>3(x - 5)(x + 1)</u>
Attention:THIS IS PART B <em>ONLY!</em>
First,find the unit rate.
35/2 and <em>x</em>/1
35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.
now,R.L.
45/3 and <em>x</em>/1
45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour
now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first
355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.
355 divided by 15 = about 24 hrs-----R.L.
So,who read faster?
Answer:
value of x = 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
By law of cosines,
Answer:
32/45
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 : 3/2 : 5/8
Remember, a ratio and a fraction are both division. Therefore you can rewrite the problem like so:
2/3 ÷ 3/2 ÷ 5/8
Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying them by the reciprocal.
2/3 * 2/3 * 8/5
Now simplify:
32/45
32 and 45 have no common factor, hence the final answer is 32/45
