Input is 4.
Process machine:
Input > - 7 > ÷ 3 > Output
Solve:
(Input) 4 - 7 = <u>-3</u>
<u>-3</u> ÷ 3 = <u>-1 </u>(Output)
Input = 4
Output = -1
They would cost $8.75. If you take out 30% from the original price, that is how much they would be.

We will need to split the middle term and use the grouping method. To do this multiply the coefficient of the first term (6) against the coefficient of the last term (10):
6 * 10 = 60
Factors of 60 = +-(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60)
From the list of factors find two numbers that when added together give -19 and when multiplied together give 60. -15 and -4 added together give -19 and multiplied together give 60 so split the middle term by rewriting these values back into the expression:
6x^2 - 15xy - 4xy + 10y^2
Now use the grouping method, take out the highest common factor between the two sets of terms:
3x(2x - 5y) - 2y(2x - 5y)
Group the outside terms:
(3x - 2y)(2x - 5y)
Answers
6 = -3*-2
10 = 5*2
5*3+2*2=19
thus
(2y-3x)(5y-2x)
Okay, so since the discount is 60% of the price and it comes out to $2.8, we are going to form the following expression, where x is the original price.
60% of x = 2.8
Simply means: 60/100 * x = 2.8
You solve for x, which comes out to $4, which is your original price.
