Answer:

3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The premise is incorrect</em>.

The factorization of 6x^2 -5x -4 is ...

... 6x^2 -5x -4 = (2x +1)(3x -4)

The factor that is not 2x+1 is 3x -4.

_____

If you were to assume the premise is correct, the x-term of the remaining factor is 6x^2/(2x) = 3x, and the constant term is (-4)/(-1) = +4, suggesting the correct answer to be 3x+4. As we have noted above, this is wrong.

(Have your teacher show you how to work this problem and check the answer.)

What is the slope of the line through (-2,3) and (1,1)?

son4ous [18]

The slope of the line is -2/3.

This is found by using the equation y2 - y1/x2 - x1. Filling in for each factor, you would have 1-3/1+2 (since subtracting a negative makes it positive). This will give you a final answer of -2/3.

Here is a graph of the full equation of the line.

I hope this helps!

yes. Machine A pops 42.5 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Machine B pops 45 ounces of popcorn in 10 minutes. Add the two to get 87.5 ounces. 8 times 9 is 72 which is less than 87.5 ounces

Is the equation y=4x+1 proportional? *<br> Yes<br> No

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 1 is not a direct variation. Direct variations have the form y = kx. So y = 4x would be a direct variation (k=4), but not y = 4x+1

Find the new price for the markdown. Round to the nearest cent if necessary. $12.99 marked down 25%

I like to do these equations backwards and multiply the first number by the opposite of it. ( think 1- the percent as a decimal) however, you can do this by converting the percent into a decimal and then subtracting that from the original number.

Have a great day!
