Down payment is 20% of the price of the home. Since the couple saved $35,000, and assuming they will pay the whole money as down payment, the highest priced home they can get is a price whose 20% is $35,000.

We can setup an equation in x (being the price of home) to get the price of the most expensive home they can buy.

<em>Which number (x) , multiplied by 20%, is equal to $35,000?</em>

<em>x(0.2)=35,000\\x=\frac{35,000}{0.2} \\x=175,000</em>

So, the most expensive house they can buy is worth $175,000.

The purchasing value of highest priced home is \boxed{{\mathbf{\$ 1,75,000}}}.

Further explanation:  

Given:

A couple wants to buy a home. They saved \$ 35000. The down payment of the house is 20\% of the purchase price of the home.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

First determine the down payment of the house.

If the couple saved \$ 35000 then they will use the whole amount as the down payment.

Therefore, assume that the couple will pay the whole money as the down payment.

The couple can buy most expensive home whose 20\% is \$ 35000.

Step 2:

The 20\% can be represented as,

\dfrac{{20}}{{100}} = 0.2  

Therefore, the value of 20\% is 0.2.

Step 3:

Now determine the purchasing price of the house.

If the down payment of highest price home is \$ 3500 that is 20\% of the price of home.

Assume x as the price of the home.

The value of x can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}20\% {\text{of }}x &= 35000\\ 0.2x &= 35000 \\x &= \frac{{25000}}{{0.2}} \\ x&= 1,75,000\\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the value of highest priced home is \boxed{{\mathbf{\$ 1,75,000}}}.

Consider the division of 15h2 + 10h + 25 by 5h.

(5h)(3h)=15h^2
(10h+25)/(5h)
(5h)(2)=10h
(25)/(5h)=5/h=\=
(15h^2+10h+25)/(5h)= 3h+2, with a remainder of 25

(1) Solve the equation by factoring out a GCF (greatest common factor). * 2 points
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  x - 21x  = 5

x   = x * 1

21x = x * 21

GCF = x

x - 21x = 5

x*(1 -21) = 5

x * (-20) = 5

-20x = 5

x =5/-20

x = -1/4

2) 6n² = 6 * n * n

30n   = 6 * 5 * n

GCF = 6*n = 6n

6n² + 30n = 0

6n*(n + 5 ) = 0

6n = 0      or n + 5 = 0

n = 0             n = -5

n = 0 or -5
