8x -5+2 x
8x+2x-5 ( combine like terms)
answer:
10x-5 or -5+10x
If i did the math correctly one number is 50
19 has two factors: 1, 19
21 has four factors: 1, 3, 7, 21
23 has two factors: 1, 23
And we need a number that has more than four factors and is greater than 25.
Factors of 50- 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
50has six factors and is greater than 25.
Answer:
Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.
Longer leg = 6.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49
To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.
x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49
Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.
Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.
Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation

and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.
Note too that the fraction

can be reduced to

, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?
Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to
36.
