Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out the negative sign.
−(2b^2+5b−12)
2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.
−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)
3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))
4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.
−(b+4)(2b−3)
The answer is 5900 as 879 in 5000 is closer to 900 rather than 800.
Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x
2.25 = x
Answer: She cycles 25% of the time
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, Sally walks 15% of the time.
She drives 3/5 of the time.
We then convert 3/5 to percentage.
Converting to percentage means multiplying by a factor of 100.
Hence, Sally drives 3/5*100 = 60% of the time.
If Sally walks 15% of the time and drives 60% of the time, adding up the percentage time used by these two media of transportation will give us
60% + 15% = 75%
Hence if she cycles for the remainder of the time, expressing it as percentage would mean subtracting the time used in other means by 100%
Hence it will be 100% - 75% = 25%
