Factor out the coefficient of the variable. 1/3y-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remeber that factoring is the same thing as applying the distributive property in reverse. Take the example 3(y + 4). To distribute, we multiply each term by the factor 3 to get the expression 3y + 12. To factor out the 3, we do the opposite, dividing the 3y and the 12 by 3, and pulling the 3 out front to again get 3(y + 4).

Here, we'd like to factor out 1/3 from the expression . Dividing each term by 1/3 (the same thing as multiplying each term by 3), we get the expression . Remember though, the 1/3 never went away, we just pulled it out of the expression, so our full answer is

81 seats

step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 0.65 times 125 then you get 81.5 seats. well since you can't have half of a seat you have to round down and get 81 seats in the no children zones. that leave 44 seats outside of the no children zone.

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
