If she was to volunteer 32 hours and it is worth 20%, then that means 32 hours is 1/5 of her yearly hours. If you were to multiply her volunteer hours by five, then you are getting the year number of hours she has volunteered.
32 x 5 = 160
So, she volunteers 160 hours this year.
The value of x in the expression, x 2 = 9 is 4.5
9 divided by 2 = 4.5
Factor this by grouping. Group the first two terms together and then the second 2 terms together. The idea here is that, after grouping, what you can pull out in both groups is the same. Like this:

Now work on finding a common thing between the 2 groups:

See, what you have in common there now is the (x-9) that you can factor out:

And that is factored completely.
