The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
The answer to this is D, $990.00
Answer:
b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation is:
- 5b + 2b - (-b) + 7 = 5
We separate the terms of b and the constants. To do that we subtract 7 from both the sides. We get:
- 5b + 2b - (-b) + 7 - 7 = 5 - 7
⇒ - 5b + 2b - (-b) = - 2
Now, simplifying the terms with 'b'.
⇒ -5b + 2b + b = - 2
⇒ (-5 + 2 + 1)b = - 2
⇒ -2b = -2
Dividing both the sides by -2, we get:
b = 1 which is the required answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
I agree with what you did. You could also add y on both sides and get 3x = y + 5 and then divided by three to get...
x = 5 + y /3
(the 5 and y are being divided by 3)
But that's just complicated, it works, but it's complicated. What you did is correct and what I gave you is the value of x, but I'm 100 percent sure yours is correct.
Hope this helps
