Answer:
5x • (x + 3y) • (x - 2y)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 31
2x - 4y = -6
*The +4 and -4 in the center of the equation cancel out because 4-4 = 0*
3x = 31
2x = -6
------------
*add like terms*
3x + 2x = 5x
31 - 6 = 25
So now you should have this written on your paper ... > 5x = 25
*Divide by 5 on each side*
5x = 25

5 5
x = 5
5x + 10 = -4x - 17
+4x +4x
5x + 4x = 9x
9x + 10 = -17
-10 -10
-27
9x = -27 9x/9 = -27/9
x = -3
Answer:
$12,000
Step-by-step explanation:
20% as a decimal is 0.20
30,000 x 0.20 = 6,000
If the employer matches that, the amount deposited is double.
6,000 x 2 = 12,000
That is probably the answer they want. Technically the question asks way *you* will have contributed, which is $6,000, but I don’t think they’re trying to make this a trick question. I would go with 12k
