<h3>Answers:     x = -17  and   x = 64</h3>

====================================================

Explanation

Consider three scenarios:

  • A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
  • B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
  • C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.

These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.

--------------------

We'll start with scenario A.

If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}

The range is 56, so,

range = max - min

56 = 39 - x

56+x= 39

x = 39-56

x = -17  which is one possible answer

--------------------

If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min

range = max - min

56 = x - 8

56+8 = x

64 = x

x = 64 is the other possible answer

--------------------

Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.

Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.

Express the product of the following<br> binomials as a trinomial:<br> (x+5)(x+8)
NeX [460]

Answer:

x^2+13x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, use the FOIL method. Multiply the first terms, then the outside, then the inside and finally the last terms.

We have the binomials:

(x+5) and (x+8)

The first terms are x and x. The outside terms are x and 8. The inside terms are 5 and x. The last terms are 5 and 8.

Multiply these values.

F (first): x and x

x*x= x^2

O (outside): x and 8

x*8=8x

I (Inside): x and 5

x*5=5x

L ( Last): 5 and 8

5*8=40

Now, add all the products together.

x^2+8x+5x+40

Combine like terms. In this case, the like terms are 8x and 5x.

x^2+13x+40

The final trinomial (three terms) is: x^2+13x+40

In a classroom of 33 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 3:8. How many boys are in the class?
kkurt [141]
9 because it's 3 boys to every 8 girls with 33 in the class together. so start with 6 boys which is 3+3 meaning there will be 16 girls being 8+8. together that makes 22 students then add another 3 boys bumps the total number up to 25 and for those 3 you need 8 girls which bumps 25 up to 33 meaning that in a class of 33 there will be 9 boys altogether
