Answer: Rico is right.
(-1)(3x + 5)²
Step-by-step explanation: If it were the difference of two squares, the -30x would not be there.
It makes sense to factor out (-1) fry the trinomial, leaving all positive terms.
Then factor 9x² + 30x + 25 as
(3x + 5)²
Answer:
$395.61
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest is:

Where
i is the interest amount
P is the principal amount
r is the rate of interest per time period
t is the time period
Here,
P = 4869
we want to find after 30 months, that converted to years is:
30/12 = 2.5 years
t = 2.5
The annual rate is 3.25% = 0.0325
Now, substituting, we find our answer:

The interest earned is <u>$395.61</u>
So this problem is asking you to plug numbers in for t. 0 1 2 3 4 5. So your first equation would be 2× 0+8 and you would get 8 so for 0 toppings you would pay 8 dollars then graph this over 0 up 8. Next equation 2×1+8 is 10. Graph. over 1 up 10. Next 2×2+8 is 12. Graph. Over 2 up 12. next 2× 3 + 8 is 14. Graph. Over 3 up 14. Next 2×4+8 is 16 so over 4 up 16. Last 2×5+8 is 18 so over 5 up 18. Your Y-intercept is the dot that is on the y axis and in this problem that is 8. This means if you buy 0 toppings you will spend 8 dollars.
Answer: y = -5
Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8 Substitution
3 - y = 8 Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5 Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5 Answer!
You can also check your work.
x - y = 8
3 - (-5) = 8
3 + 5 = 8
8 = 8
