This looks like an odd problem. Just start with a simple expression with 7 as a factor, and then multiply it out. For example: 7(x+1)(x+2) Here 7 could be the GCF. Now multiply it out: 7(x^2+3x+2) = 7x^2+21x+14 So our factorable polynomial is 7x^2+21x+14 And its two equivalent forms are: 7(x^2+3x+2)and7(x+1)(x+2)
This can be solved by multiplying 40% and 24. When multiplying with a percent, you have to convert it to a decimal. 40% as a decimal is 0.40. Therefore, you have to do 24 x 0.40.
