For the first, simply plug in the value of x given (x = 2) into the equation: 
So, 8 would be your answer.
For the second, the sum of x and 2 would be expressed as x + 2. Twice this sum would be written as 2(x+2). Finally, 8 less than twice that sum would be written as 2(x+2) - 8, which would be your expression.
For the last question, the coefficient refers to the number directly in front of the variable, x. So you need only to check what the x would simplify to in each equation and look for the expression where x has no coefficient (i.e., its coefficient is 1). For Hunter, the coefficient would be 15 (5 × 3x = 15x); for Michael, the coefficient would be 11 (6x + 5x = 11x); for Nate, the coefficient would be 1 (x = 1x); and for Spencer, the coefficient would be 2 (2x = 2x). Thus, Nate's expression has a coefficient of 1 when simplified.
.35 as a percentage would be 35%.
.35 = 35 / 100 as a fraction
Answer:
y=-3/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x-8)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?
2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?
In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.
Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that
8+ −3=5
which is one of the factors of -24.
This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:
(x−3)(x+8)
