The GCF of the three terms (9a, -18b and 21c) is 3
Rewrite each of the terms so 3 is a factor
9a = 3*3a
-18b = -3*6b
21c = 3*7c
So we can say...
9a - 18b + 21c = 3*3a - 3*6b + 3*7c
9a - 18b + 21c = 3(3a - 6b + 7c)
Answer: 3(3a - 6b + 7c)
If you distribute outer 3 to each of the inner terms and multiply, you'll get the original expression again.
Hi!
Let's divide 4000 by 1000 to see what .1% would be: $4.
Now we multiply 4 by 36 to get 3.6% of 4000: $ 144
Add 4000 and 144 together:40144.
hope this helps!
Answer:
$333
Step-by-step explanation:
4,000 / 12 is about 333.34
Rounding the .34 down to the nearest whole number (0), we end up with about $333.
42 and 14
explanation:
x+y = 56
x = 3y
Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14
So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.
Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.
x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56
x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42
So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.
