Answer:
We need to find which expressions are equivalent to
,
or neither.
: We extract the greatest common factor which is 6. Remember, when we extract a GCM, we divide each term by it.

Therefore, this expression is equivalent to neither of the given expressions.
: We just need to apply the distributive property.

Therefore, this expression is equivalen to
.
We use the same process to the other expressions.



, equivalent to neither.
Answer: Company b
Step-by-step explanation:
because company B is only 5percent it is better and can pay in 8 years
Answer:
All of them
Step-by-step explanation:
ツ
Answer:
b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
9x+12y=21 -----> equation A
6x+8y=7b ----> equation B
we know that
If the system of equations have an infinite number of solutions then the equation A must be equal to the equation B
Multiply equation B by 1.5 both sides
1.5*[6x+8y[=7b*1.5
9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C
Compare equation A and equation C
9x+12y=21 -----> equation A
9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C
For the equations to be equal it must be fulfilled that
21=10.5b
solve for b
b=21/10.5
b=2
8 over 9
= 8/9
= 8:9
Final answer: 8:9~
