B. is true. 15·(–5) > 23·(–12).
15·(-5)=-75.
23·(-12)=-276.
-75 > -276
B=(c-3a)/2
Should be the equation you get
It seems that some the work is already here, but I'd be glad to!! So for #3 which is 9x^2+15x, we can factor out both a 3 and an x (3x) so we know that 3x * 3x =9x^2 and 3x * 5 = 15x so once we take the 3x out of the equation, we are left with 3x(3x+5) and that's as far as you can factor.
For #4, we see that the common factor is 10m because 10m * 2n = 20mn and 10m * 3 = 30m so once we take 10m out of the original, it becomes 10m(2n-3)
For #5, this one the common factor is 4xy because 4xy * 2xy=8x^2y^2 and 4xy*x= 4x^2y and 4xy*3=12xy so once we take the 4xy out of the equation, it becomes 4xy(2xy-x-3)
Hope this helps!
This is how I would do it:
-8x=28-4y divide the entire equation by 4
-2x=7-y Put y back on the left and put x on the right
y=7-2x.
Add all the number then multiply by 1,000
