Example: <span>the second step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to:</span> <span>Well you really should find the sum of the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>But before you can do that, you need to LIST the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>−1 * 40 </span>
<span>−2 * 20 </span>
<span>−4 * 10 </span>
<span>−5 * 8 </span>
<span>−8 * 5 </span>
<span>−10 * 4 </span>
<span>−20 * 2 </span>
<span>−40 * 1 </span>
<span>NOW we find the sum of the factors of −40 </span>
<span>−1 + 40 = 39 </span>
<span>−2 + 20 = 18 </span>
<span>−4 + 10 = 6 </span>
<span>−5 + 8 = 3 </span>
<span>−8 + 5 = −3 </span>
<span>−10 + 4 = −6 </span>
<span>−20 + 2 = −18 </span>
<span>−40 + 1 = −39 </span>
<span>Then we choose the factors of −40 whose sum is −3 ---> −8 and 5 </span>
<span>x^2 − 3x − 40 = (x − 8) (x + 5) </span>
<span>So FIRST step is B, SECOND step is C, and final step is factoring. </span>
What Rita did was combine these 2 steps together, which you will learn to do as you get better at factoring.
Answer:
Given : Brandon buys a radio for $43.99 .sales tax rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.
Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.
Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.
x+7%x =43.99
Or x+0.07x=43.99
1.07x=43.99
Dividing both sides by 1.07.
x= 41.11
Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11
Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88
Tax paid = $2.90 (To the nearest cent)
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are 3+2+3=8 , the first number minus the second and the third is 4 then you get 3-2+3=4
So your overall anwser is 3+2+3=8
