Simplify the ration expression
start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator
when you do so, the result is
now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since
however, only when
since
when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3
hence, your answer is C
381 1/10- 214 43/100= 166 67/100

Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2
Factor 6 x^2 out of 12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2:
6 x^2 (2 x^2 - 7 x - 15)
Factor the quadratic 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15. The coefficient of x^2 is 2 and the constant term is -15. The product of 2 and -15 is -30. The factors of -30 which sum to -7 are 3 and -10. So 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15 = 2 x^2 - 10 x + 3 x - 15 = x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
6 x^2 x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3)
Factor 2 x + 3 from x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
Answer: 6 x^2 (2 x + 3) (x - 5)
I would say your friends assumption is wrong. Why?
Because, if you payed $2.40 for 3/4 pounds of grapes, your friend should pay more for an entire pound, not less.
