Answer:
210
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange slightly...
12xy-8y-9x+6 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms
4y(3x-2)-3(3x-2)
(4y-3)(3x-2)
12:8
or you can simplify it to
3:2
Answer:
8/21
Step-by-step explanation:
The total job is 1
Mike has done 1/3 and Dena has done 2/7 of the job We still need to do x of the job to complete it
1/3 + 2/7+ x = 1
We need to get a common denominator 3*7 = 21
Multiply each side by 21
21(1/3 + 2/7+ x) = 1*21
21(1/3) + 21*(2/7)+ 21x = 21
7+ 3*2 +21x =21
7+6+21x = 21
13+21x = 21
Subtract 13 from each side
13-13+21x=21-13
21x = 8
Divide each side by 21
21x/21 = 8/21
x = 8/21
We need to complete 8/21 of the job
3y+7=31
3y=24 (we subtracted 7 from both sides)
24 divided by 3 is 8
Y=8
