Answer:
500 miles
Explanation: 100-44 is 56, so 280 is equal to 56% of the trip. 280/56 is equal to 5. Therefore 5 is 1%, so if we multiply the 5 x 100 there we go, that's 100% of the trip. Not how your teacher told you to do it, but its the right answer.
Answer: d. (17, 20)

Hence, the correct option is d. (17, 20)
Answer:
(x-8)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?
2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?
In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.
Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that
8+ −3=5
which is one of the factors of -24.
This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:
(x−3)(x+8)
Hope this helped!
