Find the factors of 3, which are 1, 3 or -1, -3, and 24, which can be 1,24; 2,12; 3, 8; 4, 6, negative and positive, and write them this way: factors of 3 to the left, factors of 24 to the right.
then multiply diagonally and add up the products. Keep trying different pairs of factors till you make a -17
1 -3
3 -8
1*(-8) + 3(-3) = -17
so (n-3)(3n-8) is the factored form of the expression
Collect like terms
15 + 3 + 9x + 7x = y
18 + 16x = y
Recall
b + mx = y
m = 16
b = 18
Answer: a: 543.2 b: 465.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a. find 30% of $776, which is 232.8. subtract 232.8 from 776.
b. find 40% of $776, which is 310.4. subtract 310.4 from 776
What you do is divide the two numbers and then you get your answer
Answer:
204 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change the 5yd2ft to be just feet.
1 yard = 3 feet
5 yd × 3ft/yd = 15 ft
15 ft + 2ft = 17ft
Next, change to inches.
1 ft = 12 inches
17ft × 12in/ft = 204 in
5 yds 2 ft = 204 in
