Answer: (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression : \frac{3x-15}{x^2-x-20} [Taking as common outside]

\text{Polynomial in numerator=}3x-15=3(x-5)

\text{Polynomial in denominator=} x^2-x-20\\\\=x^2-5x+4x-20\\=-x(x-5)+4(x-5)\\=(x-5)(x+4)

We can see that the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator of given the rational expression = (x-5)

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

<em>793 food hampers were distributed</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many food hampers were distributed in a typical week, knowing that  

  • 200 hampers were distributed on Mondays

40 fewer hampers were distributed on Tuesdays than on Mondays, thus:

  • 160 hampers were distributed on Tuesdays

on Wednesdays, the volume is 1.3 times Tuesday’s volume, thus  160*1.3=

  • 208 hampers were distributed on Wednesdays

on Thursdays the number of hampers distributed was 3/4 of Monday’s volume, thus  3/4*200=

  • 150 hampers were distributed on Thursdays

on Fridays, 50% of Thursday’s volume was distributed, therefore  50%*150=

  • 75 hampers were distributed on Fridays

The total number of food hampers distributed in the week is

200+160+208+150+75=793

793 food hampers were distributed

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

y = 3x - 11      

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b          Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = 3x + b        Input Slope

Step 3:

- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b        Input x and y values

Step 4:

- 5 = 6 + b          Multiply

Step 5:

- 11 = b        Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = 3x - 11      

Hope This Helps :)
