To simplify the expression stated, it is better to write it in the numerical form. The statement is:
<span>quantity 12 x plus 36 over quantity x squared minus 4 x minus 21
The numerical form is:
12x+36 / (x</span>²-4x-21)
Simplifying,
12x+36 / (x<span>²-4x-21)
</span>12 (x+3) / (x+3)(x-7)
We can cancel the x+3 term, leaving only:
12/(x-<span>7)</span>
The answer is 46. All equal to 46%

Hello!
Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.
2x + y = 482
× + 2y = 370
2x + 47 = 740
-3y = -258
y = 86 cents
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86
I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
