The chef will be able to prepare 3 servings of pasta because if you take one away from a whole number you have 9/10ths so you do that process again you have 2 servings but, you have 2 tenths left over so you add that to the 7 tenths.
Hope this helps :)
Louise wants to factorize completely the given polynomial 
Grouping first, second terms together and third, fourth terms together
= 
Taking
common from first and second terms of the given expression and taking 5 common from the third and fourth terms.
=
Taking (x+3) common from the given expression,
=
is the completely factored form.
First you need to find the slope of the line:

m=6-(-2) / (-1)-0 =-8
equation of line is:
y=mx+b
y=-8x+6
for absolute value function:
if x<0
y=-8x+6
if x>0
y=+8x-6
