Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property does not appear to be involved in this question.

Let n represent the number of Noah's pencils. Then Andrew's total is ...

  3n +5 = 17

  3n = 12 . . . . . subtract 5 from both sides

  n = 4 . . . . . .  divide both sides by 3

Noah has 4 pencils.

IS THIS RIGHT <br> JUST ANSWER YES OR NO
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = x^2(x + 2) - 9(x + 2) = (x + 2)*(x^2 - 9)

(x + 2)/(x + 2)(x^2 - 9) = 1 / (x^2 - 9)

==============

1/(x^2 - 9) * (x^2 - 9)/(3x  + 1) = 1/(3x + 1)


Yes B is correct.
