Answer:

= (x+4) (x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x -28

Product = -28

Sum = -3

numbers = -7 and 4

Thus;

x²- 3x -28 ; replacing -3x with -7x and 4x

x²-7x +4x -28

x(x-7) + 4(x-7)

= (x+4) (x-7)

Answer:

(x-7)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an expression.

x²-3x-28

We have to factorize given expression.

Split the middle term of above expression so that the sum of two term should be -3 and their product be -28.

x²-7x+4x-28

Making groups and taking common , we have

x(x-7)+4(x-7)

Taking (x-7) as common, we have

(x-7)(x+4) which is the answer.

Please explain how to do it I know the answer is 30%

Andrews [41]

To find this percentage, it will make it easier if it is worded differently. Put it "15 is what percent of 50?"

To find the percentage, simply divide 15 by 50 then multiply that quotient by 100.

15 / 50 = 0.3

0.3 x 100 = 30 = 30%

Solve for y: 3y - x = a

Anna11 [10]

3y - x = a

To solve for y we isolate the y variable.

3y = x + a
y = (x + a)/3

Vector u has its initial Point at (15,22) and it’s terminal point at (5,-4)

Anit [1.1K]

so let's firstly find the component form of "u", keeping in mind that "v" is really in the opposite direction and twice as long, so v = -2u.

$\bf \stackrel{u}{(15,22),(5,-4)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{\underline{u} component form}}{}\implies \stackrel{u}{} \\\\\\ v=-2u\implies v=-2\implies v=$

an 8 ounce can of tomatoes costs $1.14. a 12 ounce can costs $1.75. which can of tomatoes has thebetter unit price

Alex_Xolod [135]

Unit rate of 1st Can = 1.14/8 = $0.1425

Unit rate of 2nd Can = 1.75/12 = $0.145

1st Can is cheaper than 2nd one
