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

Aisha recorded the heights, in centimetres, of some girls.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The median is marked at 161cm instead of 162cm.

The right part of the box (the upper quartile) is marked at 172cm, while the interquartile range is 17cm, so the upper quartile should be at 154cm + 17cm = 171cm.

Answer:

y=3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a the equation is y=3x+2 because he makes 3 every hour (3x) and he already has 2 (+2).

For the graph you replace x with any number and solve. Plot the point.

Then you do it again but with a different x.

Finally you draw a straight line trough the 2 points.
