Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month
I hope that 2-1 means 21.
DE + EF = DF
4x + 10 + 21 = 9x - 15
4x + 31 = 9x - 15
31 = 9x - 4x - 15
31 = 5x - 15
46 = 5x
x = 9 1/5 = 9.2
You want 9x - 15
9*9.2 - 15
82.8 - 15
67.8 <<<<< answer.
If I have given the wrong meaning to 2-1 (which could mean 1) leave another note and I will correct my work.
Correct Question:
Which term could be put in the blank to create a fully simplified polynomial written in standard form?
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y3)
Options

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
Required
Fill in the missing gap
We have that:
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
From the polynomial, we can see that the power of x starts from 3 and stops at 0 while the power of y is constant.
Hence, the variable of the polynomial is x
This implies that the power of x decreases by 1 in each term.
The missing gap has to its left, a term with x to the power of 3 and to its right, a term with x to the power of 1.
This implies that the blank will be filled with a term that has its power of x to be 2
From the list of given options, only
can be used to complete the polynomial.
Hence, the complete polynomial is:

A) K=1/2C-3
K+C=18
Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
