Answer:
They are both right becuase if you just take away 1 from 20 and 10 you get 2 and 1. For the 4:2 one take away 1 and mutiply by 2 equalling 4:2 but they are still the same thing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 5x + 10 because you have to times 5 by everything in the parenteses
The correct answer is: [B]:
________________________________________________________
<span> f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 9)(x + 5); x= 9, -9, -5 .

You haven't shared "the given value of x," or, if you have, you haven't drawn attention to it.
Just suppose we were to choose x = 4 as a possible solution and then try to find a value of the parameter k that would make x = 4 an actual solution.
2(4) + 4k - 9 = (4)(4) - (4) + 1
Then 8 + 4k - 9 = 16 - 4 + 1, or 4k - 1 = 13. Then 4k = 14, and k = 14/4, or (after reduction) k = 7/2
If the parameter k equals 7/2, then x = 4 is a solution to the given equation.
To check this out further, start with the proposed solution x = 5 and find k.
