Expand: (b + 2)(b - 4)

Answers

(b+2)(b-4)
b x b = b^2
b x 2 = 2b
b x -4= -4b
2 x -4=-8

b^2+2b-4b-8=   b^2-2b-8
i believe the answer is b^2-2b-8

Find the exact Solution of x.x^2 = 16

A)x = 4
B)x = -4
C)x = ±4
D)No Solution

Answers

x^(2) = 16

First, take the square root to both sides. 
x = ±√(16)
Second, now we have 4 × 4 which is 16, meaning the square root of 16 is 4. 
x = ±4
Third, there are two solutions. 
-4 \n and \n 4
Fourth, since we have two values, it is reasonable to use the plus-minus sign to indicate there is a positive and a negative solution.

Answer: C) x = ±4

x^2 = 16
x = √16
x = 4.
so the answer is A. x = 4.

(01.03) A box has dimensions of 17 inches long, 1.3 feet wide, and 8 inches high. What is the volume of the box? The formula for the volume is V = l ⋅ w ⋅ h. (1 point) 2121.6 cubic inches (in3) 176.8 cubic inches (in3) 14.7 cubic inches (in3) 1.2 cubic inches (in3)

Answers

we know that

the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

V=L*W*H

where

L is the length of the box

W is the width of the box

H is is the height of the box

in this problem we have

L=17\ in  

W=1.3\ ft

H=8\ in

Convert 1.3 feet to inches

we know that

1 feet is equal to 12 inches

so

1.3*12=15.6\ inches

W=15.6 in

Find the volume

V=17*15.6*8

V=2,121.6\ in^(3)

therefore

the answer is

2,121.6\ in^(3)

Convert 1.3 ft to inches which is 15.6in

then multiply all measurements using the volume formula which is L•W•H

17 * 15.6 * 8 = 2121.6 cubic inches

A square has an area of 9 cm2 what is its side length​

Answers

Value of side length is 3 cm

Give that;

Area of square = 9 cm²

FInd:

Value of side length

Computation:

We know that,

Area of square = Side²

BY putting value into formula

⇒ Side² = 9

⇒ Side² = 3²

Side = 3

So,

Value of side length = 3 cm

How to get the base of a parallelogram that has a area of 26 1/2 and a height of 6 5/8?

Answers

the area of all paralellograms can be found by
area=base times height

so
area=26 and 1/2
height=6 and 5/8
convert to improper fractions for ease of use
26 and 1/2=52/2+1/2=53/2
6 and 5/8=48/8+5/8=53/8
so

area=height times base
53/2=53/8 times base
multiply both sides b 8/53 so that we clar the fraction (53/8 times 8/53=424/424=1)
(53 times 8)/(53 times 2)=1base
8/2=1base
4=base

answer is base=4 units
Well you start of in reverse. The formula to find the Area of a parallelogram is A = bh so since you already have the Area all you would have to do is divide the area by the height like so 26 1/2 / 6 5/8 = 4. So to make sure you have the right answer you would just Multiply 4 by 6 5/8 to see if it equals 26 1/2.
4 X 6 5/8 = 26 1/2

-3x-y=-17 4x + 2 y equals 20

Answers

-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20

multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.

(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20

Now we have:

-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14

Divide -2 on both sides.

-2x = -14
/-2       /-2

x = -7.


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

To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20


4x + 2y = 20

4(-7) + 2y = 20

-28 + 2y = 20

Add 28 on both sides

-28 + 2y = 20
+28          +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2      /2

y = 24.


The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.

You may have to do this by yourself :P
