(x^2-5)(3x-1)
Here's how I got this answer:
I found the GCF for each part of the polynomial.
3x^3 and -15x both contain 3x, and -x^2 and 5 share -1.
I then can divide the polynomial by 3x-1, and I get x^2-5
(Okay, that's not what I really did, but I can solve these on sight and don't remember the proper way to do it.)

At a rock concert, the ratio of girls to boys is 3:7. If there are 360 more boys than girls, how many girls are at the concert?

bixtya [17]

You could understand the ration as parts: the total number of parts was 3+7=10.

So girls were 3/10 parts and boys 7/10 parts. The difference was 7-3=4 parts. this difference is equal to 360, so each part is 90 (4*90 =360).

so girls are "3 parts" and each part is 90, then the number of girls is 3*90=270.
