Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
Answer:
11.9230769231
Step-by-step explanation:
Don't ask I am a smarty
To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
total cost = (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.
In d ratio 5:9 which equals 5+9=14
the total female performers is 63
For men = 5/14*63=5/2*9
=45/2 =22.5
The men would be about 22.5 in the dance recital
