a a Members of a softball team raised $1579.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $1175.50 and budgeted $25.25 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament. Equation: x =

  16

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost for x players will be ...

  1175.50 +25.25x = 1579.50 . . . . bus cost plus meal cost for x players

  25.25x = 404 . . . . . . . . . subtract bus cost

  x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

A) 2y * (x³ + 9x − 5x² − 45)

B) 2y * (x² + 9) * (x -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

2x³y + 18xy − 10x²y − 90y

A) The Greatest Common Factor (GFC) is 2y. Then, the expression can be rewritten as follows:

2y * (x³ + 9x − 5x² − 45)

B) Continue with the parenthesis term of the previous expression, we can split it into two groups:

x³ − 5x² = x² * (x -5)

9x − 45 = 9 * (x - 5)

Therefore,

2y * (x³ + 9x − 5x² − 45) =

= 2y * [x² * (x -5) + 9 * (x - 5)] =

= 2y * (x² + 9) * (x -5)
