Answer:

6x-5 if x<5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x<5, then x-5<0.

If x-5 is negative, then |x-5)=-(x-5) or -x+5.

5x - |x - 5|

5x-(-x+5) provided x<5

5x+x-5 by distributive property

6x-5 combined liked terms

Which is a factor of x^2-9x+14?<br> A. X-9<br> B. X-2<br> C. X+5<br> D. X+7

sukhopar [10]

Answer : B

x^2-9x+14

Lets factor $x^2-9x+14$

We find out two factors whose product is +14 and sum is -9

Two factors are -2 and -7, we split the middle term -9x using -2 and -7

$x^2-2x-7x+14$

Group first two terms and last two terms

Then factor out GCF from each term

$(x^2-2x)(-7x+14)$

$x(x-2)-7(x-2)$

$(x-2)(x-7)$

so x-2 is one of the factor
