Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-5(x² -2x +3)
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is a factor common to all of the coefficients. It is convenient to have the x² coefficient be positive in the factored form, so the result of factoring out -5 is ...
... -5((-5x²/-5) +(10x/-5) +(-15/-5)) = -5(x² -2x +3)
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The general term for the sequence is

To find the 55th term, we have to substitute

in to the general term and simplify.
This implies that,




Therefore the 55th term is 161.
First translate the question into an equation.
"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.
So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.
Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.
Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.
So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
Divide -3
-3/-3a = 15/-3
a = -5
