1. Each term in this polynomial has a common factor of 
:
2. Not sure what the "vertical method" is, but I would guess it refers to some way of visualizing the distributive property.
3. You can use the same approach as in (2), or recall that 
:
4. Recall that a difference of squares can be factored as 
. So
Answer:
Answer y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to know the price Jay can pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed, you can calculate this using the following steps:
100% + 40% = 140%
140% of x is $299
140% * x = 299
140/100 * x = 299 /*100/140
x = 299 * 100 / 140
x = $213.6
40% of $213.6 = 40% * 213.6 = 40/100 * 213.6 = 85.44
$213.6 + $85.44 = $299
The correct result would be $213.6.
To solve for the unit rate, know that the final answer must be out of 1. Or it is the quantity or amount of something per unit of measurement.
For instance in the above question, the unit rate for 32 teams in 4 divisions would be 8 teams per division.
Likewise for the other question it would be 270/15.
Answer: y = 31 and x = 13
