2x(x - 8) -5(x - 8)
= (x - 8)(2x - 5)
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease, we do old number subtracted from the new numbers over old.
We do
40 - 32 = 8
Then we put the 8 over the old and get
8/40
In percentage form it would be 20%
Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
I think the answer is 6 but I might not be right. Please don’t be mad if it’s wrong. :(
