N 2-1 < 3
n is equal to :
2-1 = 1 so n would have to be 1 in order to be less than 3
Group and factor
group y's with y's and z's with z's
(y²-10y)+(10z-yz)
factor
y(y-10)+z(10-y)
force undistribute -1
-y(10-y)+z(10-y)
factor
(10-y)(-y+z)
(z-y)(10-y) or
(y-z)(y-10)
This photo is the explanation
12×12×12×12×12 is equivalent to 12^5 (a^b means a is to be written down B times all being multiplied.)
A line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is a "median". A median divides the area of the triangle in half, as it divides the base in half without changing the altitude.
AAMC is half AABC. AADC is half AAMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
ABMC is half AABC. ABMD is half ABMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
Then, AADC = 1/4 AABC = ABMC, so AADC = ABMC by the transitive property of equality.
