Answer:
The answer is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I have done my math correctly, and I think I have, 1+1 should equal 2. Hope this helps ;)
The dimensions of the prism can be 2x, 2x+3 and x+6.
We first factor out the GCF of the trinomial. The GCF of the coefficients is 2. Each term has an x in common as well, so the GCF is 2x.
Factoring out the 2x, we have
2x(2x²+15x+18).
To factor the remaining trinomial, we find factors of 2*18=36 that sum to 15. 12*3 = 36 and 12+3 = 15. We split up 15x into 12x and 3x:
2x(2x²+12x+3x+18)
Now we group together the first two terms in parentheses and the last two:
2x((2x²+12x)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the first group:
2x(2x(x+6)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the second group:
2x(2x(x+6)+3(x+6))
Factoring out what these have in common,
2x(x+6)(2x+3)
Answer:
17

Answer:
a =-6
Step-by-step explanation:
4a+5=2+3.5a
Subtract 3.5a from each side
4a-3.5a+5=2+3.5a-3.5a
.5a +5 = 2
Subtract 5 from each side
.5a +5-5 = 2-5
.5a = -3
Divide each side by .5
.5a/.5 = -3/.5
a =-6
