Answer:
D. There is no mistake.
Step-by-step explanation:
The following lines show the process of factorization by using common factor.
<u>Line 1:</u>
In line 1, the equation is given and is completely fine.

The only thing missing was equate to zero, but the options below talk about correct factors only, therefore this can't be considered as a mistake and can be ignored completely.
<u>Line 2:</u>
In line 2, the terms are grouped, from which we can factor out common terms.

This is also fine.
<u>Line 3:</u>
In line 3, the common term y is taken out from group 1 and 2 from other group.

which is exactly what is given in line 3.
<u>Line 4:</u>
In line 4 the common factors can be seen and easily split into 2 factors.

which is exactly what is given in line 4.
Options:
A. The grouping is correct in line 2. So this option is does not hold.
B. Common factor was factored correctly from group 1. So this option does not hold.
C. Common factor was factored correctly from group 2. So this option does not hold.
D. There is no mistake. This is correct. Thus we choose this option as correct answer.
Answer:
2 10/16 or 2 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can add the whole numbers first, so 1+1=2
Now add the remaining fractions: 5/16 +5/16=10/16.
2+10/16=2 10/16 or 2 5/8.
If we break the answer down, we can solve this pretty easily.
We can represent Dic's age with x.
Tom's age is 5 MORE (+5) than TWICE (2x) Dic's age (x)
Therefore, our answer is 5+2x (Five more than twice Dic's age)
The correct answer is C: 5+2x

Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°
sum the 3 angles and equate to 180
5x + 7 + 4x + 2 + 90 = 180 , that is
9x + 99 = 180 ( subtract 99 from both sides )
9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 9
Then
∠ ACB = 4x + 2 = 4(9) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38°
∠ BAC = 5x + 7 = 5(9) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52°
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent , so
∠ B = ∠ E
6x + 10 = 70 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 10
2x2+5x=12, 2x+5x=7x, 12+2=14, 7x/7=14/7, x=2
