Answer:
The answer instead is 10:14.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, there are ten boys and fourteen girls in this class. The ration would then be 10:14. Instead, Jeff said 5:12 which isn't correct. He can correct it by using the number of boys given, find the difference of girls in a class of twenty-four students, and then get his answer!
is 4.
Then, 7(-2) is -14.
Then, 4 - (-14) is (-18).
Finnaly, (-18) - 8 is
[-26]
Answer:
a = -2
b = 1
c = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2a + 4b + c = 5 ............(1)
a - 4b = - 6
or
a = 4b - 6 .............(2)
2b + c = 7
or
c = 7 - 2b ...........(3)
substituting 2 and 3 in 1, we get
2(4b - 6 ) + 4b + (7 - 2b) = 5
or
8b - 12 + 4b + 7 - 2b = 5
or
10b - 5 = 5
or
b = 1
substituting b in 2, we get
a = 4(1) - 6
or
a = -2
substituting b in 3, we get
c = 7 - 2(1)
or
c = 5
thus,
a = -2
b = 1
c = 5
<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.
In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.
</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.
√x^2 = x
√4 = 2
Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)
Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.
Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>
