Step 4: multiplicative identity
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:
120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16
Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...
120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)
0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms
n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller
(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic
The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.
The woman bought 6 items.

Check
When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Use the FOIL method: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd.
2) Collect like terms.
3) Simplify.
Therefor, the answer is, 10x^3 - 26x^2 - 12x.
Answer:
g = (h+a) - l
None of them
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose your car has h liters of engine oil in the morning. During the day, some oil may have leaked, you may have added more oil, or both. The oil level in the evening is g liters. Which of the following expressions always represents how far away the new oil level is from the previous oil level? H+G lGl none of them
Let
h = liters of oil in the morning
l= liters that has leaked
a= liters that were added during the day
g= amount of liters at the end of the evening
Total liters of oil in the evening= (litres of oil in the morning + litres of oil added during the day) - litres of oil that leaked
Substituting each variable into the formula, we have
g = (h+a) - l
You multiply the number by itself however many times it says for example 2 to the second power 2x2 is 4
