When you factor a number, you are writing the number as a product of two numbers. Usually (not always), the two numbers are smaller than the original and different from each other. For example, one way to factor 6 is to write it as 3*2 which says "3 times 2". Another example is to take a number like 32 and write it as 8*4.

The x is simply a placeholder for a number, so we can apply the same factoring rules to algebra as you've done in the past with regular numbers. Something like 9x is really a factorization of its own because it means 9 times x where x is some unknown number. If x were say x = 2, then 9x = 9*2 = 18.

We can rewrite 9x into 3*3x because 9 is the same as 3*3. The +3 at the end of 9x+3 can be turned into 3*1.

So we go from this: 9x+3

To this: 3*3x+3*1

At this point, it might seem like we're just complicating something just for the fun of it. In reality, we're helping ourselves to factor out a common term of 3. Use the distribution rule to go from 3*3x+3*1 to 3*(3x+1). If you were to distribute the outer 3 back into each term, then you'd get 3*3x+3*1 = 9x+3 again. So in a way, you can think of it as distribution but in reverse. Factoring pulls things apart while distribution puts it back together. That's possibly one way to remember it.

So in the end, 9x+3 completely factors to 3*(3x+1). Note how we have a product of two expressions 3 and 3x+1

This might seem like a lot of steps but it's not that bad. Once you have enough practice, you'll be able to do this in one or two steps fairly easily. I'll let you practice the others on your own. They are similar to problem 1. If you still are stuck, then let me know and I'll update the solution.

this is algrabra so what u do is first u need to know what x is also u can not add unlike term this is a lot so go to youtube and learn the faundaion cause i cant explian it so 9x +3 woul be eather if x is 2 then 9x2=18 then add 3

I believe it's Line y=-x+2 and y=3x+1 intersect the y-axis. From what I've gathered, they are parallel lines, and both are set on the y-axis.

A business owner opens one store in town A. The equation p(x) = 10,000(1.075) represents the anticipated profit after t years. T
alexgriva [62]
The rigth equation to anticipate the profit after t years is p(t) = 10,000 (1.075)^t

So, given that both store A and store B follow the same equations but t is different for them, you can right:

Store A: pA (t)  10,000 (1.075)^t

Store B: pB(t'): 10,000 (1.075)^t'

=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075^t / 1.075^t'

=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075 ^ (t - t')

And t - t' = 0.5 years

=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075 ^ (0.5) = 1.0368

or pB(t') / pA(t) = 1.075^(-0.5) = 0.964

=> pB(t') ≈ 0.96 * pA(t)

Which means that the profit of the store B is about 96% the profit of store A at any time after both stores have opened.
