Jeremy received a bill with a balance due of $25.60. After an error was corrected, the new balance due was 1/4 of the original balance due. What was the balance due?

$6.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy received a bill that was $25.60.

This was wrong and the actual amount due was 1/4 of the above figure.

The actual figure must therefore be:

= 25.60 * 1/4

= $6.40

is there answer choices?

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
