Okay so you split 9ab + 12ax - 6b - 8x
<span> into two 2-term polynomials </span>
+ 12ax + 9ab and - 6b - 8x
doesn't look that good to me so lest try other one :
9ab + 12ax and - 6b - 8x
looks good for now
<span> </span> Pull out from each binomial separately
9ab + 12ax = 3a • (3b + 4x)
- 6b - 8x = - 2 • (3b + 4x)
<span> </span> Add up to arrive at the desired factorization so now you have
<span> (3a - 2) • (3b + 4x)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope that Helped!</span>
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to create two equations for each company and then set them equal to each other. The keywords base fee means you will pay this amount regardless, so this amount stays constant and it will be the constant in the equation. The other keyword is per. Per will link the variable with the coefficient.
The first equation for company M:
y = 12x + 60
The second equation for company N:
y = 9x + 120
Set the equations equal to each other.
9x + 120 = 12x + 60
Solve for x. I am going to subtract 9x from both sides first.
9x - 9x + 120 = 12x -9x +60
120 = 3x +60
Now, I will subtract 60 from both sides.
120 - 60 = 3x + 60 - 60
60 = 3x
Finally, I will divide both sides by 3
60/3 = 3x/3
x = 20
20 is how many guests it will take for the total cost to be the same.
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Pulling out like terms :
1.1 Pull out like factors :
-2x - 12 = -2 • (x + 6)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
2.1 Solve : -2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.2 Solve : x+6 = 0
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation :
x = -6
One solution was found :
x = -6

plz mark me as brainliest :)
The answer is probably x=3. I am great at math so it should be the answer!
I have no clue if this is correct but the answer I got was 10,260,000
