The remaining weight of the empty bottle is 0.5 because each third of the bottle weighs 2.5 pounds and of the remaining juice and the bottle was 3 pounds 2.5 subtracted from 3 is 0.5
You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3
Answer:
In order to get this perfect square trinomial, the factored form will be (a - b)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know this because it follows the rule of perfect squares in which the ends are both squares and the middle term is -2 times each term.
