If 12 is 15% of a number than you could double 12 and get 24. The reason for this is because 15%*2 is 30% so than 12*2 would be 30% of a number. So 30% of a number is 24. If you than look at the 15% again you than will want to do 12*3 and get 46 as your answer.
Option C: (x+4) and (x-1) are the factors of the equation
Explanation:
Given that the equation is 
We need to determine the factors of the equation.
Splitting the middle term, we get,

Grouping the terms, we have,

Let us factor out the term (x+4), we have,

Thus, the factors of the equation are (x+4) and (x-1)
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
14 7/18 is the correct answer i believe.
1.If y varies directly with x
Introduce the constant term k
2.y=kx
where k is the constant term
substitute the value of x and y to form the law
-1=3k
k=-1\3
:y=-1\3x....is the law
To find the value of y when x is 9
Reinstate the law which is y=-1\3x and substitute the value of x to find y
y=-1\3*9
y=-3
