If you would like to simplify <span>(-2)-3 -8 - 8 and 6x - 2, you can do this using the following steps:
</span><span>(-2)-3 -8 - 8 = - 2 - 3 - 8 - 8 = - 5 - 8 - 8 = - 13 - 8 = - 21
6x - 2 = 2 * (3x - 1)
The correct result would be - 21 and </span><span>2 * (3x - 1).</span>
So to start you half to have an equation. $3.25x is going to be on part of your equation for each pound. $39.00 is going to be your total amount of all your meat. So your equation is going to be 40=3.25x+39 then you would solve the equation from there
So in a kilometer, there is 1,000 meters
so if you have 50 meters you can divide by 1,000 meters like:
50 meters/1 = 1 km/1,000 meters
which should get you 0.05 km
Given a polynomial p(x) with leading coefficient 
and solutions 
, we have
That's why we have to find the solutions first. We complete the square by adding 3 to both sides:
From here, we continue by taking the square root of both sides:
So, the two solutions are
Which yields the factorization
