The newspaper has 1200 readers because if 60 people is only 5%
if you divide 95 by 5 it is 19. 19 times 60 equals 1140. 1140 plus 60 equals 1200. 5% of 1200 is 60.
Answer: Subtract 18 on both sides is wrong. Its supposed to be add 18 on both sides.

Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.

<h3>use x=4</h3>
When x=4, the equation becomes ...
-3x +9y = -57
-3(4) +9y = -57
-12 +9y = -57
<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>
The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.
-12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12
9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.
(1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9
y = -5 . . . . . . simplify
Answer:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 2x - 15
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)
The factors are - 5 and + 3, since
- 5 × 3 = - 15 and - 5 + 3 = - 2, thus
(x - 5)(x + 3) ← in factored form
