Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
<u>GCF = 6y^6</u>
Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parenthesis divide each term by the GCF.)
6y^6(24y^8/6y^6 + 6y^6/6y^6)
Simplify each term in parenthesis
<u>6y^6(4y^2 + 1)</u>
The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14
the ratio of squares to shapes is 2:5
