A gardener has 8 pounds of fertilizer. He packs the fertilizer into 5/8 pound bags. What is the maximum number of 5/8 pound bags he can pack?
so first you multiply 8 pounds times 5 from 5/8 which is 40/8 pounds bags
now how many 8s can fit in 40
40 divided by 8 =5
so he can pack 5 maximum bags
A job is an example of employment
So for this you need the two solutions to be x= -9 and x=3 then move over the numbers and put in brackets (x+9)(x-3) then multiply together x^2+9x-3x-27 then combine like terms to get x^2+6-27
