Which expression is the factored form of−4.5n+3?
1 answer:
Answer: Choice C
Explanation:
We can verify the answer by distributing the -3 through to each term inside
- -3 times 1.5n = -4.5n
- -3 times -1 = 3
This shows that -3(1.5n-1) is the same as -4.5n+3. The process of factoring out the GCF like this is basically the reverse of the distributive property.
The distributive property in general is

<u>Answer</u>:
the length of chicken coop and the garden is of 40 feet.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that the garden is the length of the chicken coop, equal length
→ 3x + 12 = 6x – 16
→ 3x - 6x = -16 - 12
→ -3x = -28
→
→
→ x = 9.33 feet.
- The garden length = 3(
) + 12 → 40 feet
- the chick coop length should be same as the garden length.
