Answer:
elmo is 3 right now
Step-by-step explanation:
5x -4 = 3x+2
2x= 6
x= 3
start with y= m(x+9)
Use the distributive property:
y= mx+9m
Now you want x to decrease by 6:
so y ' = m(x-6) + 9m
Use distributive property again:
y'= mx - 6m + 9m
y' = (mx+9m) - 6m
y' = y - 6m
So the value of y decreases by 6m.
Find the greatest common factor which is 9
9(9x^2-3x-2) and then factor the equation in the parenthesis
so the factored equation will be 9(3x+1)(3x-2)
