It factors to (x+12)(x-12)
This is the same as (x-12)(x+12) as we can multiply two expressions in any order we want. This is like saying 7*5 is the same as 5*7
I used the difference of squares rule to factor x^2 - 144. It might help to write x^2 - 144 as x^2 - 12^2, then compare it to a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
Answer:
10.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The first car consumed 21 gallons while the second car consumed 49 gallons. here is the how it's done.
for the first car gallons consumed is 15/50x70= 21 gallons
the second car consumed 35/50x70=49 gallons
Answer:
72 adult tickets were sold and 114 child tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=186, 14x=10y=2148
x=186-y
14(186-y)+10y=2148
2604-14y+10y=2148
2604-4y=2148
-4y=-456
y=144
x=186-144 : x=72
1)
you have similar triangles(ABC, ADE), so their side length ratios are equal
8/2=4/CE
CE*4=4
CE=1
2)
angle bisector theorem:
CD/DA=BC/BA
CD/DA=10/8
I:AD=10CD/8
we also know AC=AD+CD=6
II:CD=6-AD
insert II in I:
AD=10(6-AD)/8
=5(6-AD)/4
=(30-5AD)/4
4AD=30-5AD
9AD=30
3AD=10
AD=10/3
