(3x^2 - 5x +3) + (-2x -3x)
=3x^2-5x+3 + (6x^2)
=9x^2-5x+3
I believe it would be -6.9♀️
6a+8b; when a variable is next to a coefficient then that means they are multiplying each other, we just don't know what a or b is.
26% less than a value is best found by multiplying by (100 - 26)% = 74% = 0.74
So previous year x 0.74 = 40,700
Previous year = 40,700 / 0.74 = $55,000
If she already gets the first two, thats a given 100% situation. then it is just 1/4
