Abudget calls for $200 less than one-third of the clothing portion of the budget to be spent on the man of the house. if the man's needs are estimated at $600 for the year, how much should be budgeted for the entire family for the year?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the clothing portion of the budget for the entire family for the year

we know that

One-third of the clothing portion of the budget minus $200 must be equal to the amount to be spend on the man of the house.

so

Solve for x

Adds 200 both sides

Multiply by 3 both sides

answer: i don't understand it

step-by-step explanation: sorry

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
