Answer:

2xy

Step-by-step explanation:

A factor is a number of term you can factor out of each part of the expression/ or divide it by.

In -24xyz - 12xy + 20xyz

All three parts have xy, so it is a factor

All three don't have 12xz, because -12xy doesn't have z variable for instance.

All three have 2xy.

All three can't factor out 3y, because you can't divide 20 by 3 nicely.

All three can't factor out 4yz, because middle term -12xy doesn't have z.

All three can't factor out 12, because you can't nicely divide 20/12.

All three can factor out 4, because -24, -12, and 20 are all divisible by 4.

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two-c

Answer: By the slope formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABC is a triangle (shown below),

In which A≡(6,8), B≡(2,2) and C≡(8,4)

And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Prove: DE║AC and DE = AC/2

Proof:

Since, And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Therefore, By mid point theorem,

coordinate of D are $(\frac{2+6}{2} , \frac{2+8}{2} ) = (\frac{8}{2} , \frac{10}{2} )= (4,5)$

Coordinate of E are $(\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{2+4}{2} ) = (\frac{10}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )= (5,3)$

By the distance formula,

$DE=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{5}$

$AC=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(4-8)^2}=2\sqrt{5}$

By the slope formula,

Slope of AC = $\frac{4-8}{8-6} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

Slope of DE = $\frac{3-5}{5-4} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2$

Statement Reason

1. The coordinate of D are (4,5) and 1. By the midpoint formula

the coordinate of E are (5,3)

2. The length of DE = √5 2. By the Distance formula

The length AC = 2√5 ⇒ Segment DE

is half the length of segment AC

3. The slope of DE = -2 and the 3. By the slope formula

slope of AC = -2

4. DE║AC 4. Slopes of parallel lines are equal

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of the job is x.

You can do 1/2x in an hour.

Your friend can do 1/3x in an hour.

<u>Together you can do:</u>

1/2x + 1/3x = 5/6x of a job in an hour

<u>You need time to finish the job:</u>

x ÷ 5/6x = 6/5 = 1.2 hours
