Suppose you used the distributive property to get the expression 12x+3y-9. With what expression could you have started?

Please help.

Answers

Answer 1
the answer could be 3(4x+y-3)
Answer 2
Before using the other methods for factoring, this is the first type of factoring you should try. Basically, you’re reversing the distributive property. What you’re doing is finding the greatest common factor for all of the terms.
Examples:

Factor 2x + 4
Greatest common factor for both of the terms is 2.
2x + 4 = 2(x + 2)

Factor 4x2 + 12
Greatest common factor for both terms is 4.
4x2 + 12 = 4(x2 + 3)

Factor 5x2 + 10x + 25
Greatest common factor for all of the terms is 5.
5x2 + 10x + 25 = 5(x2 + 2x + 5)

Find the greatest common factor for 12, 3 and -9.

After playing with the numbers around, I got 3.

3(4x + y - 3)

So, 3(4x + y - 3) is the answer.

explain the difference in meaning between |-3| and -3

Answers

| -3 | and -3

the absolute value of a number is just how many spaces that number is from 0. So it is not negative because distance is not measured in negative values.. The absolute value of a number is positive. So |-3| = 3.

-3 just equals -3.

so the difference, I guess, is that -3 is negative but the absolute value of -3 is positive

The number is positive when measured in absolute value. So |-3| = 3. since distance cannot be calculated in negative quantities.

What is the number?

A number is a mathematical entity that can be used to count, measure, or name things. For example, 1, 2, 56, etc. are the numbers.

It is given that:

Two numbers are given:

|-3| and -3

As we know, the mod function has positive range.

Let f(x) = |x|

The range of the function is [0, ∞)

The value of |-3| will be 3 after removing the mod which is also called the absolute value of the mod function.

A number's distance from zero, or its absolute value, is expressed as the number of spaces.

Since distance cannot be calculated in negative quantities, it cannot be negative. A number is positive when measured in absolute value. So |-3| = 3.

Thus, the number is positive when measured in absolute value. So |-3| = 3. since distance cannot be calculated in negative quantities.

A triangle has a height of x meters and a base of 14 meters. Write and solve an inequality for the values of x that give an area of at most 112 m

Answers

1/2*14m*x <= 112m^2 

x<=112m^2/7m=112m/7 =16m 

so x<=16m

Answer:

The values of x must be 16 meters or less to satisfy the inequality. (x ≤ 16 m)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula:

A=[tex]\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

Where 'b' is the base of the triangle (in this case is equals to 14 meters)

'h' is the height of the triangle (in this case is x)

As the area of the triangle must be less or equal to 112 m², the inequality is given by:

112m²≥[tex]\frac{(14m)x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{112m^{2}*2 }{14m}[/tex]≥x

16m ≥ x

We'd need to figure out the side of the bigger pentagon, which is going to be messy, but we can do it!

The area of a pentagon equation is messy, and we need to solve for the side given the area, which would be sqrt((4*area)/((5(5+2sqrt(5)))^(1/2)) or sqrt((4*8)/((5(5+2sqrt(5)))^(1/2)) . We get this from the pentagon equation, multiplying both sides by 4 dividing  (5(5+2sqrt(5)))^(1/2)) from both sides, then square rooting that to get the side length

Plugging it in, we get 2 and some more, and we multiply that by 2 to get the bigger side length. Plugging that into the area equation, we get a=32 and 32-8=24

the elkwood aquatic society is working wirh various reptiles species to increase their populations. in their latest effort , the initial population of 450 endangered tutles triplied each year for the past five years

Answers

(450 x 3)(3)(3)(3)(3)

Answer: Hi!, i guess you want to know the final number of turtles.

if the original number is 450 and they triplied in one year, then after the first year you have 450*3= 1350 turtles.

this process happens for 5 years, it means that the turtles triplied 5 times, you can write this as: [tex]450*3*3*3*3*3 =  450*3^{5} =109350[/tex]

So, at the end, they had a lot of turtles.

Solve for x, Show your work: 1/2 (16 - x) = -12 (x + 7)

Answers

You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8
First you need to multiply 1/2 by 16, then multiply 1/2 by x to get 8-1/2x=-12(x+7). Then you multiply-12 by x to get-12x an then you multiply-12 by 7 so your equation looks like this 8-1/2x=-12x+-84. Combine the like terms and divide by the number with the x and you have your answer
