The first number - x
The second number is 7 more than the first - x+7
The third number is 2 more than 4 times the second - 4(x+7)+2
The sum of the numbers is 85.

x+x+7+4(x+7)+2=85 \\
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 \\
6x+37=85 \ \ \ |-37 \\
6x=48 \ \ \ |\div 6 \\
x=8 \\ \\
x+7=8+7=15 \\
\\ 4(x+7)+2=4 \times 15+2=60+2=62

The numbers are 8, 15 and 62.

Factor the polynomial
Art [367]

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF = 2x

Factor out the GCF (Write the GCF first and then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2x (2x^3/2x + 4x^2/2x + 6x/2x)

Simplify each term in parentheses

-2x(x^2 + 2x + 3)

<u>Answer D. -2(x^2 + 2x + 3)</u>

Harry buys a TV priced at £1200 plus 20% VAT.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

£ 114

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = 20%

Amount paid = £ 300

Amount paid monthly =.?

Next, we shall determine the VAT. This can be obtained as follow:

VAT = 20% of price of TV

VAT = 20/100 × 1200

VAT = £ 240

Next, we shall determine the total cost of the TV. This can be obtained as follow:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = £ 240

Total cost of TV =?

Total cost = Price + VAT

Total cost = 1200 + 240

Total cost = £ 1440

Next, we shall determine the balance amount he needs to pay. This can be obtained as follow:

Total cost = £ 1440

Amount paid = £ 300

Balance amount =?

Balance = Total cost – Amount paid

Balance = 1440 – 300

Balance = £ 1140

Finally, we shall determine the amount Harry will pay month.

Balance Amount = £ 1140

Number of months = 10

Amount paid monthly =.?

Amount paid monthly = Balance / number of month

Amount paid monthly = 1140 / 10

Amount paid monthly = £ 114

Therefore, Harry will pay £ 114 monthly.

Are the expressions -0.5(3x + 5) and -1.5x + 2.5 equivalent? Explain why or why not
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.5(3x + 5)   and   -1.5x + 2.5

-0.5(3x + 5)...distribute the -0.5 thru the parenthesis

-1.5x - 2.5

no, these are not equivalent.... one is -1.5x + 2.5 and the other is -1.5x - 2.5....not the same
