Answer: It's b
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
Substitute 50 loaves into the given equation
y= cost to make 50 loaves
y= 0.80x + 100
y= 0.80(50) + 100
multiply first, then add
y= 40 + 100
y= $140 cost to make 50 loaves
Hope this helps!
Lets say you have 5 apples, but the you give away 3 of them.
To work how many you have left you take away.
5-3 = 2
Lets apply this with fractions now.
You have 9/7 yard, but then you give away 7/20 yard.
Now you take them away:
9/7 minus 7/20 = 131/140

Answer:
33/20
Step-by-step explanation:
1/12 - 1/15 = 5/60 - 4/60 = 1/60
d = 1/60
a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)
a_11 = 1/15 + (1/60)(11 - 1)
a_11 = 1/15 + 1/6
a_11 = 4/60 + 10/60
a_11 = 14/60
a_11 = 7/30
a_12 = 14/60 + 1/60
a_12 = 15/60
a_12 = 1/4
s_n = n(a_1 + a_n)/2
s_11 = 11(1/15 + 7/30)/2
s_11 = 11(2/30 + 7/30)/2
s_11 = 11(9/30)/2
s_11 = 99/60
s_11 = 33/20
