If you take a number, times by 7 then subtract 1. You get the same as if you took the number multiply the number by 5 then subtract 8. What is the number?

-7/2 or -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the equation first

7x-1 = 5x-8

7 = -2x

-7/2 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

set as no . is X

7X _1 = 5 X - 8

2 X = -7

X = - 7 / 2

answer: 2530

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
