Factor −6 out of −18a−30

Remark

This is like using the distributive principle only you are going backwards. Instead of trying to remove brackets, you are trying to create them.

Solution

Since you want to take - 6 outside the brackets you should divide both terms by - 6

- 18a: - 18a/- 6 = 3a which is left inside the brackets.

-30: - 30/-6 = 5

- 6(3a + 5)

Answer

-6(3a + 5)

Answer: -6(3a + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring -6 from 18a, you will be left with 3a because -6× 3a will give you 18a

Also factoring -6 from 30, you will be left with 5 because -6 ×5 = -30.

Therefore -18a -30

-6( 3a + 5)

Why does the fraction 20/25 not belong with 1/20, 2/3 and 5/4?

devlian [24]

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s because 20/25 can still be simplified further, while the other 3 can’t.

Find a and b if the point p(6,0) and Q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax+ by=12

tiny-mole [99]

to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12$

Answer:

187 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 ft/s

Δy = 75 ft

a = 32 ft/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(75 ft) = (0 ft/s) t + ½ (32 ft/s²) t²

t = 2.165 s

Given in the x direction:

Δx = 480 ft

a = 0 ft/s²

t = 2.165 s

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(480 ft) = v₀ (2.165 s) + ½ (32 ft/s²) (2.165 s)²

v₀ = 187 ft/s
