Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
The answer to number 1 is 3 or 1
The answer to number 2 is 4+x < 6
Graph the point (5,1) and use the slope 2/3 to go up 2 and 3 to the right.

You would have to make common denominators
consider a/b,c/d in Q
then a/b - c/d = ad/db - cb/bd = (ad-cb)/db for all a,b,c,d in R, exclude b,d=0
i.e. 1/2 - 1/4
=4/8 - 2/8 =(4-2)/8=2/8 =1/4
The correct answer is 100 feet, because of the SAS Postulate
