5%283z-1%29-3%28z%2B2%29=7%28z%2B1%29 Start with the given equation.


15z-5-3z-6=7z%2B7 Distribute.


-11%2B12z=7z%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


12z=7z%2B7%2B11 Add 11 to both sides.


12z-7z=7%2B11 Subtract 7z from both sides.


5z=7%2B11 Combine like terms on the left side.


5z=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%2818%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate z.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is z=18%2F5

I'm assuming you want to factor this.



Looking at the expression x%5E2%2B5x-12, we can see that the first coefficient is 1, the second coefficient is 5, and the last term is -12.


Now multiply the first coefficient 1 by the last term -12 to get %281%29%28-12%29=-12.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to -12 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 5?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of -12 (the previous product).


Factors of -12:
1,2,3,4,6,12
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to -12.
1*(-12) = -12
2*(-6) = -12
3*(-4) = -12
(-1)*(12) = -12
(-2)*(6) = -12
(-3)*(4) = -12

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 5:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-121+(-12)=-11
2-62+(-6)=-4
3-43+(-4)=-1
-112-1+12=11
-26-2+6=4
-34-3+4=1



From the table, we can see that there are no pairs of numbers which add to 5. So x%5E2%2B5x-12 cannot be factored.


===============================================================



Answer:


So x%5E2%2B5x-12 doesn't factor at all (over the rational numbers).


So x%5E2%2B5x-12 is prime.

3%28x-2%29-2%3Cx-5 Start with the given inequality.


3x-6-2%3Cx-5 Distribute.


3x-8%3Cx-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x%3Cx-5%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


3x-x%3C-5%2B8 Subtract x from both sides.


2x%3C-5%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C3 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%283%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.

So the solution is x%3C3%2F2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P = 2L + 2W

"If the perimeter of a rectangular property is 46 meters" ---> P = 46

46 = 2L + 2W

-------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length * Width

A = LW

"the area of the property is 76 meters squared" ----> A = 76

76 = LW

W = 76/L

--------------------------------------------------------------------
46 = 2L + 2W

46 = 2L + 2(76/L)

I'll let you finish up. Let me know if you have any questions or if you still need help. Thanks.

The additive identity 0 is NOT in the set above. Also, the additive inverse for each element is not present in the set (eg: the additive inverse of 5, which is -5, is not in the set). So it's not a group for those reasons.

2x%2B7=x%2B18 Start with the given equation.


2x=x%2B18-7 Subtract 7 from both sides.


2x-x=18-7 Subtract x from both sides.


x=18-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=11 Combine like terms on the right side.

In a 45-45-90 triangle, if the legs are x units, then the hypotenuse is x*sqrt(2) units.

In this case, each leg is 3 units. So the hypotenuse is 3*sqrt(2)


So c = 3*sqrt(2)

Answer 392149 by jim_thompson5910(28503) About Me  on 2012-06-24 22:15:26 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
T = (((X * A * B * (100 - C) / 100) - Y) / Z)

ZT = (X * A * B * (100 - C) / 100) - Y

ZT + Y = (X * A * B * (100 - C) / 100)

100*(ZT + Y) = X * A * B * (100 - C)

100ZT + 100Y = X * A * B * (100 - C)

(100ZT + 100Y)/(A * B * (100 - C)) = X

X = (100ZT + 100Y)/(A * B * (100 - C))

Rectangles/623509: A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 84 feet. how can i find the dimensions?

Answer 392140 by jim_thompson5910(28503) About Me  on 2012-06-24 20:09:39 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hint: "A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide" means that L = 2W

"The perimeter is 84 feet" means that P = 2L+2W ---> 84 = 2L+2W

From here, plug in L = 2W to get 84 = 2*2W + 2W which becomes 84 = 4W + 2W

I'll let you finish. You simply need to solve for W. Then use the solution for W to find L.

n P r = (n!)/((n-r)!)

12 P 12 = (12!)/((12-12)!)

12 P 12 = (12!)/(0!)

12 P 12 = (12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(1)

12 P 12 = (479001600)/(1)

12 P 12 = 479001600

9r+15

So (r-4s+6)+(8r+3s)+(s+9) simplifies to 9r+15

sqrt(45)+sqrt(180)

sqrt(9*5)+sqrt(36*5)

sqrt(9)*sqrt(5)+sqrt(36)*sqrt(5)

3*sqrt(5)+6*sqrt(5)

(3+6)*sqrt(5)

9*sqrt(5)

So sqrt(45)+sqrt(180) = 9*sqrt(5)
