Factor this expression completely.

35x − 40

A) 5(7x − 8)
B) 5(7x + 8)
C) 7(5x + 8)
D) 7(5x − 8)

A

Step-by-step explanation:

5 and 7 are both common factors of 35 and 40

Looking at the options you can eliminate C and D right away because 7 times 8 = 56 and not 40 like the problem is asking.

This leaves A and B. Looking at the equation the difference between the two are the + and -

Using the original equation (35x-40) as reference we see that it subtracts the two variables. Therefore leaving A as the answer

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88
