Step 1: Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order; the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power.
Step 2 : Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.
Step 3 : Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.
Step 4 : List all of the factors from Step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x.
Step 5 : After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3.
Step 6 : Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5.
Step 7 : Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping.
Answer:48
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students=397
Students that travelled in a car=29
Let the students that travelled in a bus be represented by y.
Since 8 buses were filled, it will be 8y for total students
8y + 29= 397
8y= 397-29
8y= 368
Divide both side by 8
8y/8=368/8
y = 46
Number of students in each bus is 46
Yes, since you can multiply 2/5 numerator and denominator to get the rest of the fractions, it makes them all equivalent.
Sara's bank account has a debt of $25. Sofia's bank account has a balance of $7. Who has more money in their bank account? Write an inequality explaining the answer.
Answer: he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The total amount of money he is to collect is;
A = 20 - 10.50 = $9.50
Let x represent the number of quarter he collected.
Then the number of fifty-cent pieces he collected will be; 30-x
Therefore we can represent it with the equation below;
0.25x + 0.50(30-x) = 9.50
0.25x + 15 - 0.50x = 9.50
0.25x = 15-9.50
x = (15-9.50)/0.25
x = 5.50/0.25
x = 22
The number of fifty-cent is equal to;
30-x = 30-22 = 8
Therefore, he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces
