x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Each term in this polynomial has a common factor of
:

2. Not sure what the "vertical method" is, but I would guess it refers to some way of visualizing the distributive property.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is simply length times width
{
} * x would be the area
That can be simplified to

Which can be further simplified to

0.1 decrease in 15 minutes
unit rate is 0.1 / 15 = 0.00667
Temperature is decreasing by 0.00667 degrees Celsius per minute
