Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x (3-1) + 3
Evaluate using PEMDAS
Parenthesis
Exponents
Math and Division ( left to right )
Addition and Subtraction ( left to right )
2 x (3-1) + 3
According to PEMDAS we do the operations inside of the parenthesis first
3 - 1 = 2
We now have: 2 x 2 + 3
Next we do exponents
There are no exponents so let's move on to multiplication and division
There is indeed multiplication so we do it
2 x 2 = 4
We now have: 4 + 3
Finally we do the addition
4 + 3 = 7
The answer is 7
The cable company is using stratified sampling
Answer:
a = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the solution given, x = a and y = -1
Substitute for x and y in either of the equations
y = -x + 9
-1 = -a + 9
a = 9 + 1 = 10
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling common factors.
Numerator : x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)
Denominator (factoring by grouping):
x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)
Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:
x (x + 2) / (x - 3) = (x^2 + 2)/ (x-3)
