Answer:

-(x + 1)(7x - 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor out a -1

-1(7x² - 5x - 12)

Step 2:

Think. Answer this question: "What 2 numbers multiply up to -12 and adds up to -5 while 7 is an x coefficient?". You answer should be -12 and 1.

So, <em>factor</em>.

-1(x + 1)(7x - 12)

To double check, just expand/FOIL everything and see if it is the same as the original expression.

Yesterday 270 concert tickets were sold. today 216 were sold. what is the percent of change
UNO [17]
Given:
yesterday = 270
today = 216

yesterday's number of tickets sold is the basis of the percent of change. So, 270 is the 100%.

270 - 216 = 54  * value of the change in ticket sales

54/270 = 0.20 x 100% = 20%  * percent of change

There was a 20% decrease in ticket sales.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

now we are to find x regarding the question as an equation, let's form the equation to solve for x

the interpretation of the question is:

(x² + x)/3 = x

by collecting the like terms:

(x²+ x) = 3x

x² + x = 3x

x² = 3x - x

x² = 2x

x = 2
