Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the coefficients in the expression: -3 and 12.  The largest number that divides them both is 3.  That means you can factor out either a 3 or a negative 3.  Try 3.

3(-x - 4) is not on the list of answers.  Also, it's unusual to factor out a value that leaves a negative coefficient on x.

Try factoring out -3.

-3(x + 4) is answer choice C.

Bonus

Because this is a multiple-choice question without a "non of these" option, you can solve the problem by expanding--multiplying out--the answers!

A. 3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 ...nope, not it

B. 3(x - 4) = 3x -12 ...nope, not it

C. -3(x + 4) = -3x -12 ...bingo!

Find the common ratio geometric sequence please
Rudiy27
Recall that in a geometric sequence, you multiply the "current" one by the common ratio to get the "next" so, if you divide "next"/"current", the quotient is just the common ratio,

\bf \cfrac{27}{243}=\cfrac{3}{27}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{3}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{27}}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}\impliedby \textit{common ratio}

notice, all we did was, divide the value, by the number to its left-hand-side.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The cost per pound is: $5.45 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8kg ham costs $12/kg

To determine

Find the cost per pound

As

1 kg = 2.2 pounds  

Weight of 8kg in ponds = 8 × 2.2 = 17.6 ponds

Cost of ham/pound = $12/2.2 pounds

                                 = $5.45 per pound

Thus, the cost per pound is: $5.45 per pound
