Answer:4(3x+4y)

Step-by-step explanation: the gcf of 12x+16y is 4. we factor out 4 by dividing both terms by 4.

Answer:

$4(3x+4y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

This would be the correct answer because the GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.

Now that we know that it is 4 we can divide the eqiasion by 4 and then you get

$4(3x+4y)$

If you need to ckeck if this answer is corret then you will need to use the distributive property to distribute 4 to 3y and 4y.

The equasion would then look like this

$(4(3x)) (4(4y))$

Next you would need to solve the equasion to get the origional equasion

$12x+16y$

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } - x$

to do so isolate -x to the left hand side and change its sign:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x + x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

simplify addition:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

square both sides:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = (\sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } {)}^{2}$

simplify square of the right hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

use (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b² to expand the left hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} - 10x + 25= {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

swap the equation:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 = {x}^{2} - 10x + 25$

isolate the right hand side expression to the left hand side and change every sign:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 - {x}^{2} + 10x - 25 = 0$

simplify:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 11x - 26= 0$

rewrite the middle term as 13x-2x:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 13x - 2x - 26= 0$

factor out x:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2x - 26= 0$

factor out -2:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2(x + 13)= 0$

group:

$\rm\displaystyle (x- 2)(x + 13)= 0$

by Zero product property we obtain:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x- 2 = 0\\ x + 13= 0 \end{cases}$

solve for x:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x = 2\\ x = - 13 \end{cases}$

to check for extraneous solutions we can define the domain of equation recall that a square root of a function is always greater than or equal to 0 therefore

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x \geq0$

solve the inequality for x:

$\rm\displaystyle x \leqslant 5$

since 2 and -13 is less than 5 both solutions are valid for x hence,

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x _{1} = 2\\ x_{2} = - 13 \end{cases}$

and we're done!

If a=15 and b=6, then 9a²-48ab+64b²=?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of 'a' = 15

Value of 'b' = 6

Simplifying the expression given in question,

$9a^{2} -48ab+64b^{2}$

$=> (3a)^{2} - 2*3a*8b+(8b)^{2}$

$=>(3a-8b)^{2}$

Putting 'a' & 'b' in above expression ,

$(3a-8b)^{2} = (3*15-8*6)^{2} = (45-48)^{2} = (-3)^{2} =9$
