Hi friend,
This is a perfect square trinomial.
It can be recognised because it is of the form:
a^2−2ab+b^2=(a−b)^2
with a=3x and b=4
9x2−24x+16=(3x)2−(2⋅(3x)⋅4)+42
=(3x−4)2
I would say that your answer is 22
Answer:
210
Step-by-step explanation:
x = num of adults
x + 7.5x = 238
8.5x = 238
x = 28
#students = 238-x
= 210
4 / 0.80 = 12 / x...cross multiply
4x = 0.80 * 12
4x = 9.6
x = 9.6 / 4
x = 2.4.....12 apples cost $ 2.40
