How do you simplify x^2-4x-21 divided by x+3
1 answer:
We can factor x^2-4x-21 to get (x+3)(x-7)
Notice how
3 plus -7 = -4
3 times -7 = -21
which helps us factor the trinomial
After you've factored it, we can cancel out a pair of (x+3) terms leaving us with the final answer of x-7
Note: the cancellation happens because (x+3)/(x+3) = 1. Divide anything (except 0) over itself and you'll get 1. A simpler example of this is 5/5 = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(1/5)x-5.4=y
Step-by-step explanation:
mx+b=y
m=(1/5)
(-8,-7)=(x,y)
(1/5)(-8)+b=(-7)
-1.6+b=-7
b=-5.4
(1/5)x-5.4=y
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
100 - 2(x + 5) = 100 - 2x - 10 = 90 -2x
90 - 2x
90 - 2×10
90 - 20 = 70
