That is called a constant
like 2,3,234234, -903
it doesn't have a placeholder

What is the result when 3/8x + 2 1/5 is subtracted from 3 1/2x - 4 1/10? Don’t put a link.

Answer:

Option 3 3 1/8x - 6 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

(3 1/2x - 4 1/10) - (3/8x + 2 1/5)

Divide it into parts:

(3 1/2x - 3/8x) + (-4 1/10 - 2 1/5)

3 1/2x - 3/8x = 3 4/8x - 3/8x = 3 1/8x

-4 1/10 - 2 1/5 = -4 1/10 - 2 2/10 = -6 3/10

So we get:

2 1/4x - 6 3/10

Question 1,2, and 3 how do i factor those? Can you show the work and explain how?

DiKsa [7]

1: $3n^{2}+9n+6$

notice that each part is divisible by 3

$3n^{2}$ ÷ 3 = $n^{2}$

9n ÷ 3 = 3n

6 ÷ 3 = 2

so it becomes $3(n^{2} +3n+2)$

3n can be rewritten as 2n+n

-you want to rewrite it into two numbers that multiply to the number that's alone (in this case 2)

which would get you

$3(n^{2} +2n+n+2)$

Now that it's rewritten, you can factor out n + 2 from the equation.

the answer is

3(n+2)(n+1)

And you can check that by multiplying (n+2)(n+1) which is $n^{2} +2n+n+2$ and then each of those by 3, which is $3n^{2} +6n+3n+6$ or $3n^{2}+9n+6$ , our origional equation

2: $28+x^{2} -11x$

So I rewrote this as $x^{2} -11x+28$ (it's the same thing, just reordered using the commutative property)

now -11x can be rewritten as -4x-7x

(remember, the two numbers should multiply to equal 28, which is our constant.)

$x^{2} -4x-7x+28$

now we can factor out x from the first expression and -7 from the second

$x(x-4)-7(x-4)$

and lastly you factor out x-4,

which would give you

(x-4)(x-7)

Make sure to check your work and make sure it multiplies to $x^{2} -11x+28$

3: $9x^{2} -12x+4$

The first thing I notice when looking at this problem is that both 9 and 4 are perfect squares. Not only that, but they are the squares of 2 and 3, which are products of -12

So if you rewrite 9 as $3^{2}$ and 4 as $2^{2}$ , the equation becomes
