Answer:

They are both equal!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answers, do the following

For 75% of 85 multiply 0.75 by 85:

(0.75)(85) = 63.75

For 85% of 75 multiply 0.85 by 75:

(0.85)(75) = 63.75

So, both of them are equal to each other.

HOWEVER, there is thing with percents that the opposites equal each other. So, you see how the percent and the whole number is changed with the equations? Like 85 turns to 85% and whatnot. If the percent/whole number of something is reversed it will equal the same thing.

So, you don't even need to do all the math to infer that they would be the same number. Changing the percent to the other number will yield the same result.

I hope that makes sense, ask questions if you need!!

The answer is A. -6

−6=4x+6−2x

−6−6=2x

−12=2x

-12/2=x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first part the given polynomial is $3x^{3}-2x^{2}+x-1$ , we have to divide this polynomial by (x-1) using synthetic division.

Here are the steps of synthetic division

Step 1: Set up the synthetic division table in which the coefficients are written in descending power of x.

Step 2: Drop down the leading coefficient i.e the coefficient of highest power of x to the bottom row.

Step 3: Multiply a by the value just written on the bottom row and write this value just down of the number written next of leading coefficient. Here, a is 1(taken from divisor)

Step 4: Add the column made in step 3. Repeat these steps until the last column reached.

In the second part,

It is given that divisor polynomial is the factor of given polynomial then we have to tell the remainder which is 0 because if divisor polynomial is the factor the it will completely divide the given polynomial which gives remainder 0.

In the third part,

Given when one uses the synthetic division to divide by (x-3) then what number is used to multiply each term that is dropped down or added.

As explained the steps of synthetic division in first part

x-3=0 ⇒ x=3 which is a

In step 3, Multiply a by the value just written on the bottom row and write this value just down of the number written next of leading coefficient. So, 3 is multiplied.

As explained in Step 2: Drop down the leading coefficient i.e the coefficient of highest power of x to the bottom row.

The columns which is formed by above steps are added.
