Answer:
7x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Product of x and 7 = 7x
7 minus 7x
7x - 7
Hence the expression is :
7x - 7
Jan: 9.25
Feb: 9.25 x 3 = 27.75
March: 27.75 + 5.75 = 33.50

First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
The first one is correct, just match the numbers with the corresponding sides of each triangle
It is 9. You have to add 33y, then divide by 11 and you get x = 3y + 9
