The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x
He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).
So, the selling price of a used drone is:
Express percentage as decimal
Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).
So, the selling price of a new drone is:
Express percentage as decimal
The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.
So, we have:
This gives
Subtract
Express as a function
Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x

Answer: C: 12-7x
Step-by-step explanation:
This expression is a good example of the difference of two squares, as 144 is the square of 12, while 49x² is the square of 7x.
Any difference of two squares 
can be factored into the sum of their square roots times the difference of their square roots 
.
Let's factor our expression.
Out of all the options given, only 
is a factor. Hence, option C is correct.
Answer:
simplified version is 
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) find possible factors to 27 that have one perfect root (in this case, its 9)
2.) square each number in the radical
3.) simplify

31 - 4 + 6 = 33
-17 + 22 - 5 = 0
31 - 4 + 6 > -17 + 22 - 5
