Answer: 16(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to a polynomial, the first thing you want to look for is the greatest common factor between the terms that are involved.

So what is the greatest common factor of 16x and 48?

The greatest common factor of 16x and 48 is 16 because

it's the largest number that divides evenly into 16 and 48.

The x does not qualify because it must appear in every term

to qualify for the GCF but here, it only appears in one term.

So a 16 factors out leaving us with each term divided by it

inside a set of parentheses so w eget 16(x + 3).

Notice that if we distributed the 16 through both terms,

we would end up with our original polynomial.

Answer:

4.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At time zero the level was 7 gallons and at time 3 min, the level was 5 gallons.

Take two points:

(0, 7) and (3, 5)

Find the rate of change:

m = (5 - 7)/3 = 2/3

This is a 2 gallons per 3 minutes

Tank holds 10 gallons, it was emptied by 3 gallons and it took:

3 : (2/3) = 3* 3/2 = 4.5 minutes

Is Y=5 and Y=-1 consider parallel perpendicular or neither show your work please and asap

Answer:

parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The "work" is to recognize that both equations describe horizontal lines. All horizontal lines on the Cartesian coordinate grid are parallel.

_____

Additional comment

y = constant . . . . . a horizontal line (y=0 is the x-axis)

x = constant . . . . . a vertical line (x=0 is the y-axis)

If you wanted to go to the trouble, you could compare the equation ...

y = constant

to the slope-intercept form ...

y = mx +b

Your comparison would note that m=0. That is, the slope is zero, so the line is horizontal. All lines with the same (zero) slope are parallel.
