Answer:

x = 14 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

*The key word 'less than' means to subtract.

x + 3 = 14 is incorrect. Kiran isn't adding weight to his backpack.

In other words, the backpack didn't increase in pounds.

3(x) = 14 is incorrect. Multiplying is irrelevant to this problem, it's not saying Kiran's backpack is 3 times a number equal to Clare's backpack weight.

x = 143 is incorrect. This equation is unrealistic.

x = 14 - 3 is correct. This equation is explaining that Kiran's backpack is 3 pounds less than Clare's backpack (14)

??????PLEASE HELPP DUDES PLEASE
sesenic [268]
The total number of all possible options is 40 (17 + 3 + 8 + 12) and number of options that fit the description of blue or large is 28 ( 17 + 3 + 8). Probability is represented as the number of desired options over the number of total options. This means the probability of a blue or large is 28 / 40 = 7 / 10.

ms. wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. her model is partially complete. which equat
Oliga [24]
I'll just factor the above equation.

x² + 18x + 80

x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10  Correct pair

(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80

x+8 = 0
x = -8

x+10 = 0
x = -10

x = -8

(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0

(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0

I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.
