D = number of dogs washed
c = number of cats washed
d = (60 - 5c) / 7.50
The 7.50 should be underneath the brackets
The statement that would be considered be as true is "<span>In a regular hexagon, the length of the radius is the same as the length of a side. In addition, a hexagon could be sliced forming triangles that are equilateral therefore having the same length of sides and similar interior angles. </span>
Answer: It is a difference of two squares, and it factors to (3x-7)(3x+7)
=============================================================
Explanation:
We can write the 9x^2 as (3x)^2 since
(3x)^2 = (3x)*(3x) = (3*3)*(x*x) = 9x^2
The 49 can be written as 7^2 because 7^2 = 7*7 = 49.
This means 9x^2 - 49 is the same as (3x)^2 - 7^2. We have a difference of two squares.
The difference of squares factoring rule is
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
which we have a = 3x and b = 7 in this case
So,
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
(3x)^2 - 7^2 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
9x^2 - 49 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
Side note: This is the same as (3x+7)(3x-7). We can multiply two numbers in any order.
-3x - 3/4 = 9
-3x - 3/4 + 3/4 = 9 + 3/4
-3x = 9 3/4
I change 9 3/4 to improper fraction
-3x = 39/4
-3x / -3 = 39/4 / -3
X = 39/4 x -1/3 (change division to multiplication so that you can complete the problem)
X = -39/12
You can convert that if you want to -3 3/12
So x = -3 3/12
Simplify to x = -3 1/4
