Adding rational numbers involves adding decimals and repeating decimals like 4.6666666..... Whole numbers on the other hand involves adding 7+6 which arent exactly decimals
69 - 3a = 0
69 - 3a (-69) = 0 (-69)
-3a = -69
-3a(/-3) = -69(/-3)
a = 23
hope this helps
The first letter can be any one of 26 letters. For each one . . .

The total number of possibilities is
(26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10) =
( 26² x 10⁵) = (676 x 100,000) = <em>67,600,000</em> .
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
A = B + 2
C = B - 3
A x C = 66
A = Andrew
C = Chris
B = Beatrice
Multiply A and c together
(B + 2) x (b - 3)
b^2 - 3b + 2b - 6
b^2 -b - 6 = 66
b^2 - b - 72 = 0
factors of -72b^2 that add up to - b are -9b + 8b
b^2 + 8b -9b - 72
b (b + 8) -9(b + 8)
b = 9 or - 8
b = 9
We notice a factor of 2x in both
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
trial and error
(5x-3)(x+1) yeilds 5x^2+2x-3, nope
(5x+3)(x-1) yeilds 5x^2-2x-3, nope
(5x-1)(x+3) yeilds 5x^2+14x-3, nope
(5x+1)(x-3) yeilds 5x^2-14x-3, nope
simplest form is
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
