Answer:

2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Required

Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Split to 2

(2ab - 6a) + (5b + \_)

Factorize the first bracket

2a(b - 3) + (5b + \_)

Represent the _ with X

2a(b - 3) + (5b + X)

Factorize the second bracket

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

b - 3 = b + \frac{X}{5}

Subtract b from both sides

b - b- 3 = b - b+ \frac{X}{5}

- 3 = \frac{X}{5}

Multiply both sides by 5

- 3 * 5 = \frac{X}{5} * 5

X = -15

Substitute -15 for X in 2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{-15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - \frac{15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - 3)

(2a + 5)(b - 3)

The two linear expressions are (2a+ 5) and (b - 3)

Their product will result in 2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>

Mrs. Bendit’s 1st Block class has 28 students. There are 7 girls in the class. What percent of boys are in the class?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Boys: 75%

Girls: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total: 28 Students: 100%

7 Girls in clas

28(total)-7 (girls)= 21 Boys in class

__________________

If we divide the amount  boys OR girls ( depending on which gender) after the toal and move the decimal to the right twice after dividing) we will get our answer.

Formula:

(Amount of Boy or girls) = x

X/28

So since we are trying to get the percentages of boys, we will replace X with the amount of boys

21/28 = .75 ( then move the decimal to the right TWICE) =  75  

Then you should get your percentages: 75%  Also if your lookings for girls percentages, you basically subtract 75 ( boys percentages) with the total percentages ( 100) then you should get your answer for the girls: 25%
