What is factoring ? like i need it to be explained how to do it bc i been struggling since the beginning of summer ( i am in 9th grade btw..going)

what is factoring ? factoring is the process of finding the factors:

factoring: finding what to multiply together to get an expression.

it is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.

example: factor 2y+6

both 2y and 6 have a common factor of 2:

2y is 2 × y

6 is 2 × 3

so we can factor the whole expression into:

2y+6 = 2(y+3)

so 2y+6 has been "factored into" 2 and y+3

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.

73-22=51 the   mass number minus the amount of protons gives you the amount of neutrons
