The answer is -60. this is because the signs implemented in front of numbers give it a sort pattern .
when there are two additions the last number after the positive sign will give a positive number 1 greater than the initial number for example + 5 + 6. Answer afterward will be + 7 and for negative sign eg: - 7 - 8 in the question will give the answer -8 the same number after a negative (-) sign .
Hope this helps
45% of what number is 27
0.45x = 27
x = 27 / 0.45
x = 60 <== 45% of 60 = 27
To factor,
<h2>
[[[</h2>
1) First multiply coefficient of a² and constant no,
That is,
3×(-42)=-126
Since the<u> resultant no is negative</u>, you should find two such factors of 126 <u>which</u> <u>will give us the coefficient of a (=11)</u> on subracting those factors.
2) Find the factor
126=2×3×3×7
=18×7
18 and 17 are factors of 126
Also,18-7 =11.
So they are required factors for factoring,

Once you have understood above steps you can solve on your own. All you need to do is split 11 into factors ,take common terms and you will get answer.
<u>Answer:</u>
3a²+11a-42
=3a²+(18-7)a -42
=3a²+18a-7a-42
=3a(a+6) -7(a+6)
=(a+6)(3a-7)
