You can factor (x^3 and 6x^2) and (-4x and -24).
So x^2(x+6) - 4(x+6)
(x^2-4)(x+6)
(x-2)(x+2)(x+6)
<u>Answer:</u>
Cost of package of paper = 4$
Cost of stapler = 7$
<u>Explanation:</u>
Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.
Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$
Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.
we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$
Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62
Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->
15x + 20y = 200
15x + 18y= 186
Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4
which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$
and one stapler = y = 7$

Answer:
b) 95%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that scores on an approximately bell shaped distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points. We are asked to find the percentage of the data that is between 64.2 points and 88.6 points.
First of all, we will find z-scores of each data point as:
Let us find z-score corresponding to normal score 88.6.
To find the percentage of the data is between 64.2 points and 88.6 points, we need to find area under a normal distribution curve that lie within two standard deviation of mean.
The empirical rule of normal distribution states that approximately 95% of data points fall within two standard deviation of mean, therefore, option 'b' is the correct choice.
