To get the answer to this equation you first cancel out the 6! ;)
(x^2-1)(6x-1) / (x+1)
Then rewrite x^2-1 in the form a^2 + b^2, where a=x and b=1
(x^2-1^2)(6x-1) / (x+1)
Then use the difference of squares!
(x+1)(x-1)(6x-1) / (x+1)
LASTLY cancel "x+1" !
so ur answer is (x-1) (6x-1)
That makes the correct answer to this problem answer choice (D) (x-1) (6x-1)
YW!!! ;)
The answer:
First: sec(-pi) is sec(pi)
And sec(pi) is -1
18 / 1 = x / 15......18 miles to 1 gallon = x miles to 15 gallon
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (18)(15)
x = 270 miles
60*(1-x)=36
60-60x=36
-60x=36-60
-60x=-24
x=24/60
x=4/10
x=2/5
x=0.4
36 is 40% less than 60
