To factor an expression, first you have to find the GCF or Greatest Common Factor of all of the pieces of the expression.
The GCF of 2y^2 and -4y is 2y
So, to factor this expression, we need to divide all of the pieces of the expression by the GCF.
2y(y-2)
2y^2 - 4y in completely factored form is 2y(y-2)
(x-p)(x-q)
x^2 -qx -px + pq
x^2 -(q+p) x +pq
so the constant here is the product of p & q
the answer is A
Answer:
$698
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Principal = $5600
Rate = 4.75%
Time = 3 years
Simple interest = principal * rate * time
Simple interest = $5600 * 0.0475 * 3
simple interest = $798
Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.
Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.
For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236
For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).
And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.
As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.
236 + x = 500.
Now we have to isolate the x term.
x = 500 - 236
x = 264.
We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).
2c = 264
c = 132
c = s
s = 132.
Both took 132 pictures this year.
