You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).
2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:
2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]
Also: -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ] Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).
Both claims are false. In fact,
and
are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that

So, it doesn't matter if
is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,

Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
Answer:
1) 12
2) Yes, there could be 16 people
3) 1/2 of one segment which is 1 block or 2 skinny blocks
4) 1/12
5) 1 of 4 people -> This means that each person gets 1.5/6 pieces which is greater than 0.66/12 piece
1.5/6 = 3/12 which is greater than 0.66/12 piece
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is approximately 0.14

Answer: 25</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
Check out the image below. I've posted the synthetic division table. The value at the very end of the bottom row is the remainder. By the remainder theorem, this is exactly the value of g(-5).
Recall the remainder theorem says: If you divide p(x) by (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). In this case, k = -5 is our test root which is the value placed in the box on the left.
As a way to check the answer, we can say
g(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 5
g(-5) = 2(-5)^2 + 6(-5) + 5
g(-5) = 25
So the answer is confirmed.
