Factor completely x³ + 6x² - 3x – 18
with a root of x = -6
the answer is 210
$20 bought 16 songs
Therefore each song costs $20/16 = $5/4 = $1.25
So:
2 songs would cost 2 * $1.25
3 songs would cost 3 * $1.25
...
x songs would cost x * $1.25
Since Renata started with $20, then her balance (y) after buying x songs would be:
y = 20 - 1.25*x
Essentially, you're going to want to reverse the steps on x in order to isolate it from the rest of the variables. To do this, perform inverse operations on x. The first one of these is the multiplication of x and m, so divide both sides by m to cancel m out on the right side. Now we have y/m = x + b. The final thing to do in order to isolate x is to subtract b from both sides. This yields us y/m - b = x. This can be rearranged into x = y/m - b, which should be your answer.
One side of Square A is the hypotenuse of the white triangle. The square of this hypo. is 24^2+10^2 = 576 + 100 = 676. Since the square of the hypo is the area of Square A, Square A has the area 676 sq. in.
