Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find a number that added with -6 equals -4, and multiplied equals -12.

Just have to do the opperations and that is all!

(x-6)(x+2)=x^2+2x-6x-12=x^2-4x-12

Hope you like it!

Answer:

Option C is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon is factorizing the polynomial x² - 4x - 12 = (x - 6)( x + ......)

We will factorize the left hand side of the given expression

x² - 4x - 12

= x² - 6x + 2x - 12  

Now we will break 12 into the factors so that sum of the factors should equal to 4

{ 6 × 2 = 12 and 6 - 2 = 4]

= x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6)

= (x + 2)(x - 6)

Therefore, the blank space should be replaced by 2.

Option C is the answer.

Prepare the Sales Budget assuming: 1. Expected sales volume: 8,000 units for the first quarter, an increase of 20% is expected f
solong [7]

Answer:

Sales budget $     for the 4 quarters is  $ 600,000    $ 720,000            $594000 and $ 825,000  

Production Budget in units for the four quarters i s     7997.6            9000             8900  and  10,350 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Budget

Quarters               I                    II                    III                    IV

Sales Volume    8000           9600                7200            10,000

<u>Sales Price       $75.00        $75.00           $ 82.50            $82.50 </u>

<u>Sales $              600,000     720,000            594000         825,000  </u>

We calculate the sales volume by applying the given percent to the sales units for each quarter. Then multiply it with the sales price to get the sales budget.

<u />

Production Budget

Quarters               I                    II                    III                    IV

Sales Volume    8000           9600                7200            10,000

+ Desired

Ending Inv.      2400            1800                3500               3850

<u>Less Opening   -----              2400               1800               3500           </u>

<u>Production      7997.6            9000             8900                10,350          </u>

We find the production budget units by adding the desired  ending inventory and subtracting the opening inventory from the sales units calculated above. The ending inventory of one quarter is the opening inventory of the next quarter.As we do not know the ending inventory of the previous year we cannot find the opening inventory of the 1st quarter of the year .

Our system is the following :
z+w-3=k\\&#10;6z-10w=k,\\\text{Solve the first equation for z like this:} \\z=k-w+3\\\text{Substitute in the second equation like this:}\\6(k-w+3)-10w=k\\6k-16w+18=k\\16w=6k+18-k\\w=\frac{1}{16}(6k+18-k)

As you see, the system has only one solution whenever the value of k is. Unlike you have not well written the system.

Alex is drawing rectangles with different areas on a centimeter grid . He can draw 3 different rectangles with an area of 12cm s
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Number of rectangles  could alex draw with an area of 11cm² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum length in centimeter grid = 1 cm

Alex is drawing rectangles with different areas on a centimetre grid.He can draw 3 different rectangles with an area of 12cm²

That is

                  12 = 1 \times12\\\\12=2\times6\\\\12=3 \times4

         These are the 3 different rectangles with an area of 12cm².

Now we need to find how many rectangles could alex draw with an area of 11cm².

                    11 = 1 x 11

So only one factorization is possible.

Number of rectangles  could alex draw with an area of 11cm² = 1

Your friend is trying to grow her hair as long as her cousin’s hair. The table shows their hair lengths y (in inches) in differe
Effectus [21]
<span>Given the table that shows the hair lengths y (in inches) of your friend and her cousin in different months x.

Month      Friends Hair(in)      Cousins Hair(in)
    3                     4                              7
    8                    6.5                            9.

To solve for the cousins hair, recall that the equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

From the table,

7 = 3m + c . . . (1)
9 = 8m + c . . . (2)

(1) - (2) ⇒ -2 = -5m
\Rightarrow m= \frac{2}{5} =0.4

Substituting for m into equation (1) gives:

7=3(0.4)+c \\  \\ \Rightarrow c=7-1.2=5.8

Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the cousin's hair is given by y = 1.2x + 5.8
