The answer is c. if you plug in the numbers for x you get the correct numbers for y
b is decreased by 25% which means there will be (-ve) sign.
<h3>So,</h3>
- <em>Option 5 is correct!!~</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(3w + -5) = 12
Reorder the terms:
3(-5 + 3w) = 12
(-5 * 3 + 3w * 3) = 12
(-15 + 9w) = 12
Solving
-15 + 9w = 12
Solving for variable 'w'.
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 9w = 12 + 15
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 9w = 12 + 15
9w = 12 + 15
Combine like terms: 12 + 15 = 27
9w = 27
Divide each side by '9'.
w = 3
Simplifying
w = 3
First, the factor pairs for 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6
Since the middle term is -3, the two factors must be 3 apart. The only pair that is 3 values apart is 3, 6.
Since the middle value is negative, the larger number is negative. This means that the 6 is negative.
z = -6
z = 3
Set each equal to 0;
z = -6
z + 6 = 0
z = 3
z - 3 =0
So your factors are (z+6) and (z-3), or answer B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the required number be x.
