Answer:
340 people would renew their membership if the gym had 400 members
The gym's claim is not accurate, because the prediction should be 340 people instead of 330
Step-by-step explanation:
With 400 members, we can predict how many will renew their membership by multiplying 400 by 0.85:
400(0.85)
= 340
So, this would predict that 340 people would renew their membership.
The gym's claim that 330 members would renew their memberships is not accurate, because the correct prediction should be 340 people.
What's happening is that every subtraction can be written as "addition of the opposite."
18-5 = 18 + (-5)
One reason this is done in the work you showed is that they're trying to show why you distribute the negative and the 1 into the parentheses, why you multiply everything in the parentheses by "-1" and not just 1.
The other reason is to later to be able to move the individual terms around, so you'll be able to combine like terms.
When you move terms around, the sign has to stay attached to the term, so writing all the subtractions as addition helps keep the sign attached.
A. the answer is 6x^2+9x-42
