Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

Split to 2

Factorize the first bracket

Represent the _ with X

Factorize the second bracket

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

Subtract b from both sides


Multiply both sides by 5


Substitute -15 for X in 




The two linear expressions are
and 
Their product will result in 
<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>
Answer: $52.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Today's price= $58.63
Yesterday's price= y
Difference= $5.92
y+5.92 = 58.63
y = 58.63 - 5.92
= $52.71
If it was one year it would be 2200 and you just keep adding 200 for each year.
