Answer: 35.7%

We have the following expression given:

(4y^3+28y^2)+(y+7)

We can start selecting as common factor 4y^2 and we got:

4y^2(y+7)+(y+7)

Now we can select y+7 as common factor and we got:

(y+7)\left\lbrack 4y^2+1\right\rbrack

So then our final answer would be:

(y+7)(4y^2+1)

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y - 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dog eats the same amount of food each day and on day 3, the available quantity of food

= 12 pounds

On day 7 (4 days after), the available quantity of food is 10 pounds. The difference in the amount of food in 4 days

= 12 - 10

= 2 pounds

This means that each day, the amount of food eaten by the dog in one day

= 2/4

= 0.5 pound

Hence the amount of dog food in the bag y for any day after opening the dog food x will be given as

= y - 0.5x
