Answer:

(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² - 15x + 7

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 8 × 7 = 56 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 8 and - 7

Use these factors to split the x- term

8x² - 8x - 7x + 7 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(x - 1) - 7(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

= (x - 1)(8x - 7) ← in factored form

The missing factor is (x - 1)

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer

Find out the how many games did the teams lose .

To prove

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ values}$

As given

Salem High School's winter sports teams WON 72% of their games last season.

If the teams played 50 games .

Percentage = 72%

Total value = 50

Put in the formula

$72 = \frac{Number\ of\ games\ win\times 100}{50}$

$Number\ of\ games\ win = \frac{72\times 50}{100}$

Number of games win = 36

Number of games teams loses = Total number of games - number of games win

= 50 - 36

= 14

Therefore the number of games team loses are 14 .

1. If the amount of fruit decreased by 35%, what percent of the original amount do you have?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

65% of the original amount.

Explanation:

Let's say that the original amount is 100%; therefore, if we subtract 35% from the original amount we have

$100\%-35\%$ $=65\%$

Hence, if the amount of fruit decreased by 35%, then we have 65% of the original amount left.
