I got 73.7460555 not rounded
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the GCF. Here, it's 3.

Then, you factor the polynomial in the parenthesis.
To find the factors, you will need to find 2 numbers that add to -7, and multiply to 10. -2 and -5 add to -7 and multiply to 10. Now, replace -7a with the factors.

This of this polynomial as 2 problems.

Then, factor again.


Then, you keep the factors in parenthesis, and combine the numbers on the outside.

Since, there are 2 of the same factor, you only need one.

BUT REMEMBER!! In the very beginning, we had a 3 that we took out, we STILL need to add that to the final answer. The <u>final answer</u> is:

Answer:
w=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for w by cross multiplying.
Complete question :
A pair of $36 jeans were on sale at Jim's Jeans for 1/3 off. The same pair of jeans were $42 at David's Denims. The jeans were on sale for 2/3 off.
A.) which store had the better buy
B.) how much will you pay at the store that has the better buy
Answer:
A.)David's denim has the better buy
B.) $14
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim's Jean store :
Cost of Jean = $36
Discount = 1/3 off
Discounted cost = $36 - (1/3 * $36)
Discounted cost = $36 - $12 = $24
David's Denim:
Cost of Jean = $42
Discount = 2/3 off
Discounted cost = $42 - (2/3 * $42)
Discounted cost = $42 - $28 = $14
David's denim has the better buy with a discounted price lower than the discounted price at Jim's store.
Cost at store with the better buy is $14
