49.57(total amount paid) -2.5 (del fee) = 47.07
47.07/3= 15.69 is the price of each
X = 4.
You have to distribute by multiplying -4 by the numbers between -3x and -2.
12x + 8 =60
Subtract the 8 from 60 to simplify the equation.
12x = 48
Divide 12 by 48 and get 4.
x=4
Answer:
0.44
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x^2 + 2y^2 + 5xy - 2y +5x^2 - 3y^2
Combine like terms
-3x^2 + 5x^2 = 2x^2 2y^2 - 3y^2 = -1y^2
2x^2 - 1y^2 + 5xy - 2y
Now plug in the solutions Note: it is easier if you have all decimals or all fractions (-1/10=-.1
2(0.5)^2 - 1(-0.1)^2 + 5(0.5)(-0.1) - 2(-0.1)
Simplify:
0.5 - 0.01 - 0.25 + 0.2
0.5 + 0.2 - 0.01 - 0.25
0.7 - 0.26
0.44
The product would expand to

This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable
.
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require

In the second case, we require

But
must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
