Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure my way is going to be any quicker or better. Let's take an example.

Suppose you start with 456

Put a decimal at the end of the 6.   You get 456.

Shift the decimal to the left one place           45.6

Divide by 2

22.8 (done mentally)

Note: dividing by 2 is easier than dividing by 5. Or multiplying by 5 for that matter.

Check the result.

456 * 5/100 =2280 / 100.

Shift a decimal 2 places to the left.

22.80 which agrees with your result.

Just take 10% of the number and divide that by 2. Taking 10% of a number is easy, for example, 10% of 100 is 10, 10% of 45 is 4.5 - you simply move the decimal point over 1. Once you take the 10% just divide it by two and you get 5%.

(2x^3-5x^2+8)(x+3)=?
Alla [95]
(2x³ - 5x² + 8)(x + 3) = ?
First step is to distribute.

2x^4 + 6x³ - 5x³ - 15x² + 8x + 24
Now combine like terms.

2x^4 + x³ - 15x² + 8x + 24

This is your answer, since you can't simplify any further or solve it without some more information.
