Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2(2x-2) = 51

x + 4x - 4 = 51

5x - 4 = 51

5x = 55

x = 11

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Dean recorded the results of spinning the spinner 60 times:

Number 1 spun 12 times
Number 2 spun 17 times
Number 3 spun 15 times
Number 4 spun 16 times

The <u>experimental probability</u> is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

Find all experimental probabilities:

$P_{1}=\dfrac{12}{60}=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ \\P_{2}=\dfrac{17}{60}\\ \\P_3=\dfrac{15}{60}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ \\P_4=\dfrac{16}{60}=\dfrac{4}{15}$

Hence, option B is correct

F left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 9 x cubed plus 2 x squared minus 5 x plus 4 and g left parenthesis x right parenth

Jet001 [13]

The answer is 2x(2x²+x+1).

When we subtract polynomials we combine like terms:
(9x³+2x²-5x+4)-(5x³-7x+4)

9x³-5x³=4x³
2x²- 0 = 2x²
-5x--7x=-5x+7x=2x
4-4=0

This gives us
4x³+2x²+2x

Each of these is divisible by 2, and each has an x, so we factor those out:
2x( )

4x³/2x = 2x²:
2x(2x² )

2x²/2x=x:
2x(2x²+x )

2x/2x = 1:
2x(2x²+x+1)
