By pulling out the common factors for each pair of terms, we can rewrite the original polynomial like this:
3x(2x + 1) + 10(2x + 1)
These two terms now have a common factor of (2x + 1). Seems like we should be able to do something with that information, don't you think? In fact, we can pull out this common factor and rewrite the polynomial again:
Answer:
c.
Step-by-step explanation:
The X value 1 is repeated
Answer:
0.75d
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
At one particular store, the sale price, s, is always 75% of the display price, d
d is the display price
%75 they are always off
d*%75
d * 0.75

Answer: 0.75d
We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:
However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable 
, where stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:
We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:
It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.
