The number was 160 because 5/4•128=160. 5/4 represents inverting 80% and multiplying it by the number to determine how the result became 128. For checking over all you have to do is do 4/5 or 80%•160 which shall give you 128.

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ \ 9x^2-18x-7 \ \ divided \ by \ (3x+1) \ is \ (3x-7) \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

let's find a and b reals so that

$9x^2-18x-7=(3x+1)(ax+b)$

$(3x+1)(ax+b)=3ax^2+(3b+a)x+b$

we identify the terms in $x^2$

9 = 3a

we identify the terms in x

-18 = 3b + a

we identify the constant terms

-7 = b

so ti goes with a = 9/3 = 3, b = -7

so we can write

$9x^2-18x-7=(3x+1)(3x-7)$

so $9x^2-18x-7 \ divided \ by \ (3x+1) \ is \ (3x-7)$

hope this helps
