Answer:

Jagdeeep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Asmaa bought the socks at store A, and Jagdeeep bought socks at store B.

________________________________________________________

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asmaa bought 3 pairs for 9.96

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 9.96 by 3

9.96 ÷ 3 = 3.32

Each pair of socks at Store A costs 3.32

_________________________________________________________

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jagdeep bought 5 pairs for 14.75

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 14.75 by 5

14.75 ÷ 5 = 2.95

Each pair of socks at Store B costs 2.95

2.95 < 3.32, store B had a better deal.

Jagdeeep got a better deal.

Answer:

(x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)
(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
(2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 2x³ +x² -18x -9 = x²(2x +1) -9(2x +1) = (x² -9)(2x +1) = (x -3)(x+3)(2x +1)

B) x³ +3x² -x -3 = x²(x +3) -1(x +3) = (x² -1)(x +3) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +3)

C) 4x³ -16x² -x +4 = 4x²(x -4) -1(x -4) = (4x² -1)(x -4) = (2x -1)(2x +1)(x -4)

_____

In each case, the third-level factoring mentioned in step 4 is the factoring of the difference of squares: a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b).

_____

The step-by-step is exactly what you need to do. It is simply a matter of following those instructions. You do have to be able to recognize the common factors of a pair of terms. That will be the GCF of the numbers and the least powers of the common variables.

Answer:

22 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

c+s=52, c = 52-s

3c+5s=200

3(52-s) +5s = 200

156 - 3s +5s = 200

5s-3s = 200-156

2s = 44

Shrimp = 44/2 = 22 pounds

Why is there a 1/2 in this formula for the area of a trapezoid?

aleksandrvk [35]

A simple answer is that any given trapezoid with height h and length of the parallel lines a and b, is half of a parallelogram with an area of (a+b) x h. Since the trapezoid is half of this, it is h(a+b)/2
