Let's factorise it :

![\: {\qquad \dashrightarrow \sf {x}^{3} (x + 3) + [-5(x + 3)] }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%3A%20%7B%5Cqquad%20%20%5Cdashrightarrow%20%5Csf%20%20%20%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%28x%20%2B%203%29%20%2B%20%5B-5%28x%20%2B%203%29%5D%20%20%7D)
Using Distributive property we get :



⠀
Therefore,

The way is see the problem causes the answer to be 27x<span />

3/4d represents the money saved on a pillow
Answer:
12 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A =
h (b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Here h = 4 ( perpendicular distance between the bases ) and
b₁ = SR = 2, b₂ = TA = 4 , then
A =
× 4 × (2 + 4) = 2 × 6 = 12 units²
A. -(a+5)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(a+5) * -1 = a+5
B. -(-x+31)
Apply the distributive property:
-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)
multiply that by -1 to get -x+31
C. -(4x+12)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12
