Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the expression:
And we wish to factor it.
First, let's make a substitution. Let's let u be equal to x². Therefore, our expression is now:
This is a technique called quadratic u-substitution. Now, we can factor in this form.
We can use the numbers -3 and -2. So:
For the first two terms, factor out a u.
For the last two terms, factor out a -3. So:
Grouping:
Now, substitute back the x² for u:
And this is the simplest form.
And we're done!
480
This is this awnser because its 120 a second, for 4 seconds so 4 times 120 = 480.
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
