So you would do,
18 gallons of water divided by 0.5 gallons of water
if you did that correctly you should have gotten... 36 jugs
1) You'll have to get raid of the fraction by multiplying 10ac by 11, x/11 by 11 which the 11's cancels out and -3 multiplied by 11 .
2)Now you have 10ac -x = -33. Add x on both sides of the equal sign you get 10ac = -33 + x
3) Divide both sides by 10c to get "a" by itself, so "a" = -33+x divided by 10c
Answer:
a. x = -9 or x = -2
b. -5(x - 4)
c. x = -3 or x = 5
d. x = ±7
Step-by-step explanation:
a. First person;
y = x² + 11x + 18
y = x² + 9x + 2x + 18
y = x(x + 9) + 2(x + 9)
y = (x + 9)(x + 2)
y = x = -9 or x = -2
b. Second person;
y = -5x + 20
The common factor is 5.
y = -5(x - 4)
c. Third person;
y = x² - 2x - 15
y = x² - 5x + 3x - 15
y = x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5)
y = (x + 3)(x - 5)
y = x = -3 or x = 5
d. Fourth person;
y = x² - 49
Applying the difference of squares formula;
(a² - b²) = (a - b)(a + b)
y = x² - 49 = x² - 7² = (x - 7)(x + 7)
y = (x - 7)(x + 7)
y = x = ±7
