To represent the change in points, you can think of it in two ways:
1. You will go down 25 points for every wrong answer, so -25 + -25 + -25 would represent what is happening. They are all negative, so you keeping moving down in value.
2. You can also think of this as 3 groups of -25.
Both answers are -75. The answer is negative because the change was down in points.
-75 is the integer that represents this situation.
Answer:
The answer is "option b"
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount = $26,900
r= 0.0818
%
t= 8 years
Payment
Answer:
7(6m - 4) = -364
multiply 7 for both variables in the parenthesis
42m - 28 = -364
move 28 to other side
42m= -336
divide 42 on both sides
m= -8
So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:
<u>Now you can rewrite this as , which is your final answer.</u>
