Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 13x + 30
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 30) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)
The factors are - 3 and - 10, since
- 3 × - 10 = + 30 and - 3 - 10 = - 13 , thus
x² - 13x + 30 = (x - 3)(x - 10) ← in factored form
Thus (x - 3) is a factor of the polynomial → A
So, what it is saying in words is 180 is to x as 12 is to 24. So, determine what relates the second half of the problem, which would be 12 is half of 24. Therefore, 12 times 2 is 24. So, x is 360 because 180 times two is 360.
The solution to this puzzle is 10+3 = 13
<h3>How to solve the puzzle</h3>
To solve this the values at the top of the star were gotten by the addition of two values inside the stars.
- 3 + 12 = 15
- 12 + 4 = 16
- 4 + 2 = 6
- 2 + 10 = 12
- 10 + 3 = 13
Therefore the answer to this question is 13.
Another way of getting the value is by adding 15 + 16 = 31
12 + 6 = 18
31-18 = 13
