This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to make Sarah the variable "s."
Using the given information, the following equation is derived to calculate Sarah's distance.
And the following equation will be used to calculate what Sarah collected using "p" for pledged money.
If Sarah collected $450 in pledges, we can use the preceding formula to calculate her distance.
- P=18S
- 450=18S
- 450/18=S
- 25 miles = S
Using Sarah's distance, we can calculate Semir's either the first equation.
- S=2n-5
- 25=2n-5
- 30=2n
- 15=n
- Semir walked 15 miles.
We already found Sarah's distance to be 25 miles.
Now SungSo is making the same amount as Sarah. He collects $450 total, but he got $72 from his grandmother initially, so subtract 72 from 450 to get the amount he collected from walking.
His formula is the same as Sarah's, but we'll use SS for his variable.
- P=18SS
- 378 = 18SS
- 378/18=SS
- 21= SS
- SungSo walked 21 miles.
Answer:
It would be C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dave has 4 times as many figures as Ben. Ben has y action figures, so it would be 4y. Then Jeff has 5 more action figures than Dave which would be addition, all together it would be (4y+5) more action figures) I hope that helps
