B. They scored 27 points.
C. Eighty miles per hour.
D. Half the speed of the car.
A. The number of different colors on the page.
D. Half the speed of the car.
These statements contain variables representing unknown quantities or values.
Variables in mathematics and science are symbols that represent unknown values or quantities. Let's analyze each statement to identify the ones containing variables:
A. "The number of different colors on the page."
This statement contains a variable because it represents an unknown quantity, the number of colors.
B. "They scored 27 points."
This statement does not contain a variable as it explicitly states a specific value (27 points).
C. "Eighty miles per hour."
This statement does not contain a variable as it provides a specific constant value (80 miles per hour).
D. "Half the speed of the car."
This statement contains a variable because it represents an unknown value, which would depend on the actual speed of the car.
In summary, the statements containing variables are:
A. The number of different colors on the page.
D. Half the speed of the car.
These statements represent quantities that can vary, making them suitable for mathematical or scientific analysis where variables are used to express relationships and solve equations.

b. How many trombones are in the orchestra? Please help, I'm in 8th grade! (:Thank youu..
Answer:
Givens
So, if there are 9 violas, the number of trombones is three, because 9 violas represents a triple proportion, which means we need to multiply by 3 to find the number of trombones according to the given proportion.
The expression that gives the number of trombones is
The number of trombones is 3, there are 3 trombones while there are 9 violas.
Answer:
a = - 2 , a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
a² - 4a - 12 = 0
consider the factors of the constant term (- 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the a- term (- 4)
the factors are + 2 and - 6, since
+ 2 × - 6 = - 12 and + 2 - 6 = - 4
use these factors to split the a- term
a² + 2a - 6a - 12 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
a(a + 2) - 6(a + 2) = 0 ← factor out common factor (a + 2) from each term
(a + 2)(a - 6) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from each side )
a = - 2
a - 6 = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )
a = 6
solutions are a = - 2 , a = 6
