Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x − 4 = 8
x² + 4x − 12 = 0
(x + 6) (x − 2) = 0
x = -6 or x = 2
Here is the work for this equation:
2+9-x/4 =10
11-x/4=10
11-x=40
x=29
Answer:Janice needs 5 pounds of vegetables.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two numbers are 12 and 21
To find:
The factors of 12 and 21, then find the common factor and the greatest common factor.
Solution:
Two numbers are 12 and 21. The prime factors of these two numbers are
From the above factorization, it is clear that the factor 3 is common in both. So,
Common factor (CF) = 3
Only 3 is common in factorization of both. So,
Greatest common factor (GCF) = 3
Therefore, the common factor is 3 and the greatest common factor is also 3.
Original Figure:
Length = 15
Width = 5
Height = 10
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 15*5*10
Volume = 750
New Figure
Length = 3
Width = 1
Height = 2
Each dimension has been divided by 5 (eg: 15/5 = 3)
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 3*1*2
Volume = 6
The old volume was 750 and it changes to 6
Notice how 750/6 = 125
Which can be rearranged to 750/125 = 6
Answer: if you divide the old volume by 125, then you get the new volume
Note: the new volume is 125 times smaller than the old volume
Put another way, the old volume is 125 times larger compared to the new volume
The fact that 125 = 5^3 is not a coincidence. If you divide each dimension by some number k, then you divide the volume by k^3
