(6y - 11)(6y + 11) = ay
² - b |use (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²
(6y)² - 11² =ay² - b
36y² - 121 = ay² - b |add b to both sides
ay² = 36y² - 121 + b |divide both sides by y² ≠ 0
a = (36y² - 121 + b)/y²
-72-4x^2+8x^3-36x/x-3
-4(18+x^2-2x^3+9x)/x-3
-4(-2x^3+x^2+9x+18)/x-3
-4(-2x^2x(x-3)-5x x(x-3)-6(x-3) )/x-3
-4 x(-(x-3) ) x (2x^2+5x+6)/x-3
-4 x (-1) x (2x^2 +5x+6)
8x^2+20x+24
20 and 45x
We look for a number that can go into both numbers.
5 into 20 is 4 and 5 into 45x is 9x.
5: 20 45x
4 9x
So no other number can go into 4 and 9x again.
So the GCF of 20 and 45x is 5.
Hope this explains it.
To find the percent you take 18 and divide it by 48, so you get 9/24 or 3/8, by using calculator you get .375 which is 37.5% then you multiply by 100 to convert a decimal to a percentage.
