X ^ 2 − 17x − 60 Which expression is equivalent to the expression above?

(Please explain in simple terms cause, it's usually hard for me to understand)

First we put parentheses and in each bracket we put (X) and then we put the signs x² is positive and the 17X before it is a negative q is positive with negative —> negative, and negative before 17X and negative before the 60 —> positive. And then the number that does not have (x) where did it come from, for example 60 came from 20 x 3 or 30 x 2...etc. We can verify this by multiplying the parentheses together and the same number comes out .

Or it can be checked by multiplying the first bracket 3 with x from the second parenthesis comes out 3X and negative 20 from the second parenthesis with X from the first parenthesis and subtract 3X from –20xcomes out –17X .

I hope I helped you^_^

126.66 m²

step-by-step explanation:

the pertinent area formula is a = πr², where r is the radius.

here, a = π(6.35 m)² = 40.32π, or approximately 126.66 m²

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
