If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12.
My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
Answer:
58 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the perimeter of a shape, you must add up the total length of all the sides. 15 inches + 12 inches + 8 inches + 9 inches + 14 inches = 58 inches.
x^2 - 4
------------------------------
x + 7 | x^3 + 7x^2 - 4x - 28
x^3 + 7x^2
------------------
0 - 4x - 28
-4x - 28
-------------
0
Now we know that
x^3 + 7x^2 - 4x - 28 = (x^2 - 4)(x + 7)
x^2 - 4 can be factored since it is the difference of two squares.
x^2 - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2)
The complete factoring is:
x^3 + 7x^2 - 4x - 28 = (x +2)(x - 2)(x + 7)
Answer: average means add all scores and divide by number of scores earned
last score is x
so the sum is 75+81+x
3 scores so (75+81+x)/3=average
must be no less than (greater than or equal to 80)
(75+81+x)/3≥80
solve
times both sides by 3 to clear fraction
75+81+x≥240
156+x≥240
minus 156 from both sides
x≥84
the studen must earn at least 84 on last exam
