You would need to facto 2x² + 9x - 35 to get (2x - 5)(x + 7).

We can find this first by dividing the 2x² into 2x and x, which we can put into the brackets:

(2x _ _)(x _ _)

Then we need to find two factors of -35 that have a difference of 9 when one is multiplied by 2, which gives us +7 and -5 as (7 × 2) - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9.

This gives our final answer as:

(2x - 5)(x + 7)

We cannot use foil on this expression as there are no brackets to expand.

I hope this helps!

Stephan con run 3 miles in 15.75 minutes. Keisha con run 5 miles in 22.6 minutes. Who can run faster?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer: Keisha can run faster than Stephan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out how long it takes for them to run a mile.

$\frac{15.75}{3} =5.25\\\frac{3}{3} = 1$

It would take Stephan 5.25 minutes to run a mile

$\frac{22.6}{5} =4.52\\\\\frac{5}{5} =1$

It would take Keisha 4.52 minutes to run a mile

Since Keisha takes less time to run a mile she is faster.

Looking for some furniture for her new apartment, Susan visits the local swap meet in search of something cheap. Knowing that mo

Lady_Fox [76]

The amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

$\dfrac{a}{100} \times b$

For this case, we're given that:

Amonut Susan took out = $200
Interest rate = 32% annually (interest rates are usually expressed in annual (yearly) terms).
Amount paid off within 1 month

The interest was 32% annually, so in monthly terms, it would be 32/12 = 2.667% approx. (as there are 12 months in each year)

Since the balance was paid within one month, the interest would be simply 1 time calculated on the main balance.

Thus, we get:
Interest amount ≈ 2.667% of $200 = $\dfrac{200}{100} \times 2.667 = 5.334 \approx 5.33 \: \rm (in \: dollars)$
