I factor it because you can't simplify
2x-8=2(x-4)
X^2+5x+4=(x+1)(x+4)
X^2-16=(x-4)(x+4)
X^2+8x+16=(x+4)(x+4)
It's 0.720. you just divide 103 and 143 and get the first three numbers
<span>Some equivalent fractions of 4/15 are: 8/30 = 12/45 = 16/60 = 20/75 = 24/90 Hope this helps</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
