Factor by groupins
x^2 + xy - 2x - 2y
= x(x + y) - 2(x + y)
= (x - 2(x + y)
Your answer would be 22 because it says <em>"sum"</em> which means <u>add.</u> Then it says "<em>of three consecutive <u>even</u> numbers</em>" which means you're going to be adding <u>three</u> of the <em>same <u>even</u> number </em>to get 66. 22 is an <u>even</u> number, so let's try it out: 22 + 22 + 22 = 66. (You can also divide 66 by 3.) 22 is the cOrrect answer.

23 x 5% =
23 x 0.05= 1.15 (total sales tax)
23 + 1.15= $24.15 (total price)
14/70 in it's simplest form is 1/5
hope this helps :)
