The right triangles are congruent, so
.. 2x -14 = 37 -x
.. 3x = 51 . . . . . . . add x+14
.. x = 17 . . . . . . . . divide by 3
x = 17
There are 39 boys.
First you divide 4 into 52 because there are 3 boys for 4 girls.
Then you take the quotient, 13, and multiply by 3.
I think it is c but if smn has a different answer do with that instead
8x^4 + 2x^2 - 45 = (2x^2 + 5)(4x^2 - 9) = (2x^2 + 5)(2x + 3)(2x - 3)
(a) 2x^2 + 3....no
(b) 2x^2 + 5...yes
(c) 2x - 3....yes
(d) 4x^2 - 9)...no...not when it is fully factored
