25% of 15 is the same as 15% of 25
25%=25/100
25% of 15=(25/100)15=(25*15)/100
15%=15/100
15% of 25=(15/100)25=(25*15)/100
Therefore:
25% of 15=15% of 25
because:
(25/100)15=(15/100)25
(25*15)/100=(25*15)/100
3.75=3.75

Use the rational root theorem:

=16,

=1
The dividers of

: 1,2,4,8,16
The dividers of

: 1
Therefore, check the following rational numbers: +-


is a root of the expression, so factor out x-4
Compute

to get the rest of the equation.

Cancel the common factor:

is the final answer
Answer:
-7-5a
Step-by-step
i simplified it if thats what it meant
Answer: Option 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To simplify the expression shown in the problem, the first step is to apply the Distributive property, this means that you must multiply the number that are outside of the parentheses by the numbers inside of them.
2. Then, you have that the first step is:

3. Therefore, you can conclude that the correct answer is the third option.
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
