The answer is x= -3. 0.7(-3)-1.4=-3.5
Answer:
11.4
20/100 = x/57
Step-by-step explanation:
It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.
... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number
... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence
... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication
_____
If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:

You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.

<u>The Difference of Squares Method for Factoring</u>
The expression:

Is a widely used method to factor binomials that are expressed as the subtraction of two perfect squares.
The condition for a binomial to be factored by using this method is that both terms must have an exact square root and they must be subtracted.
The last two choices are not valid because they are not a subtraction but an addition.
The first choice is not valid because none of the terms is a perfect square.
The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:
