Factor x^2-5x-24 i need help to figure this out

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(x-8)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?

2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?

In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.

Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that

8+ −3=5

which is one of the factors of -24.

This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:

(x−3)(x+8)

Hope this helped!

The slope of the line below is 3. Use the coordinates of the labeled point to
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

y = 8+3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the equation of the line is

y-y_0 = m*(x-x_0)

in this case we have

y-8 = 3(x-0)

that is because

y_0 = 8, x_0 = 8 , m = 3

A. (1.34)(5.46) = (1.76)(x)
Alja [10]
We are given an equation with an unknown variable x. We can find the value of x by dividing both sides by 1.76, as this will leave only x on the right hand side of the equation and its value on the left hand side, as shown below:

(1.34)(5.46)=1.76(x) \\  \\ 
 \frac{(1.34)(5.46)}{1.76} = \frac{1.76(x)}{1.76}  \\  \\ 
 \frac{(1.34)(5.46)}{1.76} =x \\  \\ 
4.16=x

Thus solving the given equation, we get x =4.16, rounded of to nearest hundredth.

What is the answer to 6x^2+17x+12=0 pls help me and I will help you back
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x=−4/3 or x=−3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6x2+17x+12=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+4)(2x+3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+4=0 or 2x+3=0

x=−4/3 or x=−3/2

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. If m<1= 4m<2, find the measure of each of the two angles.
ozzi

Answer:

  • The angle ∠1 = x = 36°
  • The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when two lines meet or intersect, we get a linear pair of angles.

Linear pairs are basically two adjacent angles that form a line.

The measure of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180, meaning they are supplementary.

We are given that <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, and

m∠1 = 4m∠2

It means the angle ∠1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2.

Let the angle ∠1 be = x

As the angle 1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2, so

The angle 2 will be = 4x

As <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, thus the measure of the sum of <1 and <2 will be 180°, so

x + 4x = 180

5x = 180

divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 180/5

x = 36°

Therefore,

  • The angle ∠1 = x = 36°
  • The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°
