We have two terms: 3x^3 and -9x

You have the correct GCF which is 3x. This GCF is factored out and placed to the left of the parenthesis, as you have done correctly so far.

Since 3x times x^2 is equal to 3x^3, this means that you have the proper first term inside the parenthesis. So far so good.

Where you make a mistake is with the second term inside the parenthesis. Notice how 3x times 2 is NOT equal to -9x

You need to fill in the blank:
3x times _________ = -9x

It turns out that -3 goes in that blank since 3x times -3 = -9x

This is why the final answer for problem 3 is 3x(x^2 - 3)

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmers' market. So far, he has sold 6 items. Each of his customers buys 2 item

amid [387]

Answer:

More than 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmer's market.

Number of items already sold = 6

So, number of more items to be sold > Total number of items to be sold - Number of items already sold > 20 - 6 > 14

Given that each customer buys 2 items.

Let $c$ be the number of customers.

So, number of items bought be the customers = Number of items bought by each customer multiplied by the number of customers = $2c$

And as per the question statement,

Number of more items to be sold > 14 (as calculated in above step)

$2c>14\\\Rightarrow \bold{c>7}$

Therefore, the answer is: <em>More than 7 additional customers are required</em>.

An Intercept is where a line crosses an axis. A Y Intercept is for the Y axis and the X intercept is for the X axis.
