Giving brainliest for correct awnser. Factor the expression below.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

B. (x + 3) (x + 27)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the expression, you must split the middle term (18x) into two terms that can be added to get 18, and multiplied to get 81:

$x^2 + 18x + 81$

$x^2 +3x + 27x + 81$

Group:

$(x^2 +3x) (27x + 81)$

Take out GCF (Greates Common Factor):

x(x + 3) 27(x + 3)

(x + 27) (x + 3)

A scale drawing of a building has the scale 0.5in : 6ft. A wall is 30 ft long. How long will the wall be on the drawing?

g100num [7]

The scale 0.5 in : 6 ft, means that

any distance of 0.5 in on paper, represents 6 ft in reality

for example:

0.5*2= 1(in) represents 6*2=12 (ft)

0.5*4= 2(in) represents 6*4=24 (ft)

0.5*10=5(in) represents 6*10=60 (ft) and so on...

Let the wall be x (in) in the drawing:

0.5 (in) represents 6 (ft),
x (in) represents 30 (ft)
----------------------------------------

thus x = (0.5*30)/6 = 15/6= 2.5 (in)

Answer: 2.5 in
