The answer is x - 5
To solve (x^2 - 8x + 15) /(x - 3) you factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(jk^-2/j^-1k^-3)^3
(-2)(-1)^-2
------------- ^3
(-2)^-1(-1)^-3
switch negative exponenst to other side
(-2)(-2)(-1)^3
__________
(-1)^2
4(-1)
-----
1
= -4
REMEMBER all to the 3rd power!
(-4)^3
-64
Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
If you are trying to find the area the answer would be 48
