Answer:
25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 25 and 45.
You can do this several ways, but one way is to list all the factors of both numbers and find the greatest common one:
Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25
Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Therefore, 25 and 45 have 2 common factors: 1 and 5
So the greatest common factors is 5
25x - 45 = 5(ax - b)
To find the value of a, simply divide 25 by 5: 25 ÷ 5 = 5
To find the value of b, divide 45 by 5: 45 ÷ 5 = 9
25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3.5x + 15 = -1.5
5.5x + 15 = -1.5
5.5x = -16.5
x = -3
y = 3.5(-3) + 15
= -10.5 + 15
= 4.5
(-3, 4.5)
Answer:
he had 44 books before he bought those 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply 6 times 2 it is 12, which means if you take away 12 from 100 that is 88. if you divided 88 by 2 (the same thing you did to the 6 to make it 12%) that would be 44.
X-intercept = -3
y- intercept = -6
Answer: -5, -7, and -9
Step-by-step explanation:
checking the pattern they are subtracting by two by the next term, so subtracting 2 from -3 would be -5 and so on.
