Question

Doctor, I’ve swallowed the
film out of my camera!
The factorised form of the expressions and
the letter beside each of them gives the puzzle code.
D = 6x – 3 =
E = 8 – 2x =
G = 15x + 10 =
H = –2x + 1 =
I = 12x + 20 =
L = 2xy – 3y =
N = 18 – 42x =
O = –2x – 2 =
P = 2xy – 8y =
S = –12x – 21 =
T = xy – 2x =
V = 56x – 35 =
E = 6xy + 3x =
L = 8xy – 72y =
N = –x + 2 =
E = 6x – 14 =
O = –xy + y =
P = 3x – 12 =
E = –8x – 24 =
S = 3xy – 2y =
T = 6xy – 10y =
O = –49 – 28x =
H = –20x – 25 =
6(3 – 7x) –y(x – 1) x(y – 2) –5(4x + 5) 4(3x + 5) –(x – 2)
3(2x – 1) –8(x + 3) 7(8x – 5) 3x(2y + 1) y(2x – 3) –2(x + 1) 3(x – 4) y(3x – 2)
2(4 – x)
–7(7 + 4x)
8y(x – 9)
–(2x – 1) 2y(x – 4)
2y(3x – 5)
2(3x – 7)
–3(4x + 7)
5(3x + 2

Answer 1

what would the code be ?

Answer 2

i mean for the activity

Answer 3

To find the factorized form of the given expressions, we need to factor out common terms.

D = 6x – 3 = 3(2x – 1)
E = 8 – 2x = -2(x – 4)
G = 15x + 10 = 5(3x + 2)
H = –2x + 1 = -1(2x – 1)
I = 12x + 20 = 4(3x + 5)
L = 2xy – 3y = y(2x – 3)
N = 18 – 42x = -6(7x – 3)
O = –2x – 2 = -2(x + 1)
P = 2xy – 8y = 2y(x – 4)
S = –12x – 21 = -3(4x + 7)
T = xy – 2x = x(y – 2)
V = 56x – 35 = 7(8x – 5)

Answer 4

The code is a sequence of letters obtained by taking the letter beside each factorized expression in the given list.

In this case, the code would be:

CODE: D E G H I L N O P S T V

Answer 5

To find the code for the activity, we need to take the first letter of each factorized expression in the given list.

In this case, the code for the activity would be:

CODE: DEGHILONOPSTV
