Answer:  If there is a common factor, factor out the GCF. The first step in factoring any polynomial is to determine whether the terms of the polynomial have a greatest common factor. If yes, factor it out first.

Blizzard [7]

Number of items sold by Shelley = 3 items.

Let us assume cost of each item sold by Shelley = $ x each.

Total cost of 3 items for Shelly sold = 3*x = 3x.

Number of items sold by Billy Bob = 4 items.

The cost of each item sold by Billy Bob = $2.25 less than the items that Shelley bought = $(x-2.25) each.

Total cost of 4 items for Billy Bob sold = 4*(x-2.25) = 4(x-2.25).

Both Shelley and Billy Bob paid the same amount of money. So, we can setup an equation now.

a) Total cost of 4 items for Billy Bob sold=Total cost of 3 items for Shelly sold.

4(x-2.25) = 3x

b) Solving equation for x now.

Distributing 4 over (x-2.25), we get

4x - 4*2.25 = 3x.

4x -9 = 3x.

Adding 9 on both sides, we get

4x -9+9 = 3x+9

4x =3x+9.

Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get

4x-3x =3x-3x+9.

x = 9.

c) Checking the solution of the equation by plugging x=9 in equation we got above.

4(x-2.25) = 3x  => 4(9-2.25)= 3*9

               => 4*6.75 = 27

               => 27 = 27.

We got left side = right side. So the solution x=9 is correct.

d) The cost of each item sold by Billy Bob = 9-2.25 = $6.75

Therefore, the cost of each item sold by Shelley is $9 and cost of each item sold by Billy Bob is $6.75.

3x + 5y = 7<br> -3x - 2y = -1
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

(-1,2) y=2 x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations and in this you see there is 3x and negative three x. To solve this you need tp get rid of one of the variables. so we can add the two equations together to get 3y=6. This means that y=2 if we divide by 3 on both sides. Then we just plug 3 in for y and we get 3x+10=7. We subtract 10 on both sides to get 2x=-3 which means x=-1.

Which of the following is not represented by the image below
love history [14]

Answer:

Line BD can't be represent by the image.

Explanation:

Point: Point is a dot or vertex of any figure or diagram. It represent by capital alphabet. So, B would be a point.

Line: A line is a straight path with both endless. It means we can extends line from both end. But in case of BD we can't extend from point B. So, it won't be line.

Ray: A ray is straight path with one endless. It means we can't extend line from one end and extend from another end. But we can extend AC from both end. It won't be a ray.

Line Segment: A line segement is straight path with end from both end. We can't extend from either end of the line. We can say CD would be line segment.

Option 2 is correct.
