If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
So the question is asking: (x-4)(x-2)
because there is a bracket in between the two expressions it means we have to multiply them together: (x-4) x (x-2)
you can break down the question into smaller parts:
x multiply x
x multiply -2
-4 multiply x
-4 multiply -2
here are the answers:
x^2 (means x squared)
-2x
-4x
8 (because when you multiply two negative numbers it makes a positive)
now you put it into an expression (this is expanding):
x^2 - 2x - 4x + 8
to simplify it you collect like terms:
x^2 - 6x + 8
The above is the answer :)
Answer is A
X-3/x^2-4 has two excluded values 2, -2
60/ (30/100)
= 60* (100/30)
= 200
The final answer is 200~
