Julie had 2730 cards and Kim had 3570 cards at first. Julie gave some of her cards to Kim. In the end, Kim had thrice as many cards as Julie.

How many cards did Julie give Kim.

1155

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards is 2730+3570=6300

Since Kim now has 3 times the card of Julie so Julie must have 6300/4=1575.

So, Julie gave 2730-1575=1155

1155 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2730-x)=3570+x

8190 - 3x = 3570 + x

4620 - 3x = x

4620 = 4x

1155 = x

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
