Remark
This is like using the distributive principle only you are going backwards. Instead of trying to remove brackets, you are trying to create them.
Solution
Since you want to take - 6 outside the brackets you should divide both terms by - 6
<em><u>- 18a</u></em>: - 18a/- 6 = 3a which is left inside the brackets.
<em><u>-30:</u></em> - 30/-6 = 5
- 6(3a + 5)
Answer
-6(3a + 5)
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
The maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this you need to create a system of equations, with two values that will create the answer we are looking for, the thing that we don't know here is how many of each are we buying so the number of silver magnetic spheres will be represented by "y" and the brass magnetic spheres will be represented by "x".
So we know that x+y=2000
That's our first equation, our second would be the expense, which would be
8x+16y=20,000
We now just solve for one of them
x=(2000-y)
8(2000-y)+16y=20,000
16,000-8y+16y=20,000
8y=4,000
y=500
So we know that the maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.
