Remark

This is like using the distributive principle only you are going backwards. Instead of trying to remove brackets, you are trying to create them.

Solution

Since you want to take - 6 outside the brackets you should divide both terms by - 6

- 18a: - 18a/- 6 = 3a which is left inside the brackets.

-30: - 30/-6 = 5

- 6(3a + 5)

Answer

-6(3a + 5)

Answer: -6(3a + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring -6 from 18a, you will be left with 3a because -6× 3a will give you 18a

Also factoring -6 from 30, you will be left with 5 because -6 ×5 = -30.

Therefore -18a -30

-6( 3a + 5)

A company's stock begins the week with a price of $43.85 per share. THe price changes by +$2.70 each day for the first two days,

mixas84 [53]

Given:

Initial price of the stock=$43.85

Change for the first two days=+$2.70

Change for next two days=-$1.10

Last day=-$4.45

The objective is to find the price at the last day.

Let's take the price at final day as x.

$\begin{gathered} x=43.85+2.70+2.70-1.10-1.10-4.45 \\ x=42.6 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the price of the stock at the last day is $42.6

Pizzeria Napoli sells a round pizza with diameter 16 inches and a square pizza with side length 15 inches. Which of the two shap

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: Square, 24 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Diameter of round pizza $d=16\ in.$

Side of square pizza $a=15\ in.$

Area of circle $\pi r^2$

The area of a square is $a^2$

$\therefore \text{Area of round Pizza}=\pi \times (\frac{16}{2})^2\\\Rightarrow A_1=\pi \times 8^2=201.088\ in.^2$

The area of square pizza is

$A_2=15^2=225\ in.^2$

Clearly, the area of square pizza is more and the difference in their area is

$\Rightarrow A_2-A_1=225-201.088=23.91\approx\ 24\ in.^2$
