I took the test. Here's the right answer
((x^2-3x-18)/(x+3))
((x-6)(x+3))/(x+3)
The x+3 on top cancels out the x+3 on the bottom so all you have left is
x-6
Hope I didn't mess up for your sake!
15-20 is -5. If you put 15 on a number line and go back twenty spaces you land on -5 hope this helps.
Answer:
72 parts
Steps:
Convert the 4 hours into minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, 4 hours = 240 minutes.
Divide 240 minutes by 40 minutes. This equals 6. Therefore, the machinist can produce the 12 parts 6 times in 4 hours.
Finally, multiply the 12 parts by the 6 times he can produce. Therefore, the machinist can produce 72 parts in 4 hours.
