Split it up
3x^2+12x-5x-20
group
(3x^2+12x)+(-5x-20)
factor
(3x)(x+4)+(-5)(x+4)
undistribute (x+4) like ab+ac=a(b+c)
(3x-5)(x+4)
I think none of these are right. It's Y=-5/3x +4/3
Unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of one. When we divide a fraction's numerator by its denominator, the result is a value in decimal form. For example: 8/4 = 2 and 3/6 = 0.5. When we write numbers in decimal form, we can write them as a ratio with one as the denominator.
For example, we can write 2 as 2/1, and 0.5 as 0.5/1. However, since that approach can be a little clumsy, we usually drop the one. That said, it's important to remember the one is there, especially when working with unit rates.
For instance, 8 miles/4 hours = 2 miles/hour. Notice again that, while we did not include the 1, we did include the unit 'hour' Miles per hour is a familiar expression, as are unit rates such as:
interest/amount invested
revolutions/minute
salary/year
Conversationally, the word ''per'' indicates we are using a unit rate.
