When we factor out something, we divide the factor by the equation. For example if we were to factor 3 out of 6, It will be 3(2). We got this answer by dividing 3 and 6. Using this concept:

\frac{-1}{4}[( \frac{-1}{2} / \frac{-1}{4}) - ( \frac{5}{4} y /  \frac{-1}{4})]

Simplifying:

\frac{-1}{4}(2 + 5y)

Hope this helps!

Kryger [21]
Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

Holly checked her answer to a division problem by estimating the quotient. Which is the best estimation of the quotient?

Answer: 4

Try just dividing 23/5 and you’d get 4 something. But since 5.97 is close to 6 you can also mentally divide 23/6 and get 3something (it’d be really close to 4)
