3(3x+4)(2x+5)

Because you factor out the 3 and then factor 6x^2+23x+20
That becomes (6x^2+8x)+(15x+20)
Factor out a two from the left and five from the right.
That makes 2x(3x+4) + 5(3x+4)
That becomes (3x+4)(2x+5)
Then put the three back in front.

Whats the distance between (-8,-7) (8,-4)

balandron [24]

To find the distance between points, use the distance formula.

Distance formula: $\sqrt{ (x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + ( y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} }$

Plug in your values for $x_{2}, x_{1}, y_{2}, y_{1}$ using (-8, -7) and (8, -4) and solve.

$\sqrt{(8 - (-8))^{2}+(-4 - (-7))^{2}}$
$\sqrt{(8+8)^{2}+(-4+7)^{2}}$
$\sqrt{(16)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$
$\sqrt{256+9}$
$\sqrt{265}$ ≈ $16.28$

Answer:
Approximately 16.28 units.

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now.

3x-x=(2x+4)-(x+4)? That is my answer but it might not be right
