Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor the original expression:
As we can see, D is the same as above. Eliminate D.
Go through each of the answer choices.
A:
This is equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate A.
B:
This is again equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate B.
C:
This cannot be simplified and it is not equivalent to what we have previously. C is not the equivalent expression.

Answer:
d. 126; 70
Step-by-step explanation:
given that Ron finds 9 books at a bookstore that he would like to buy, but he can afford only 5 of them.
Out of 9 books he has to select 5 of them
Here selection of books can be done in any order. Hence order does not matter
No of ways he selects 5 books out of 9 books = 9C5
= 126
Part II
One book is a must
Hence he has options only 4 books from the remaining 8.
No of ways when one book is compulsory = selecting 3 books from 8 books
= 8C4
= 70
Option d is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is -3. Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, the slope of the line we need to find is 1/3.
Substituting into point slope form, we get:
y + 6 = ⅓(x+6)
