% of decrease would be 100 - (22*100)/28
=100-78.57 = 21.43%
The first one ,to substitute 3xy from -16 ...so divided both side by 3 .so, (xy =-5.33). the second one,5xy =-20. so,divided both sides by 5 so xy = -4....
3x^3+12x^2+3x
The GCF would be 3x, you can factor out a 3x
3x(x^2+4x+3)
You can further factor the problem...
3x(x+3)(x+1)
Another equivalent form can be made if you simply distribute 3x into x+3
(3x^2+9x)(x+1)
3|-4-(-1)|+|2-3|=10
Final answer: 10
5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator
1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6
1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6
now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
