Adding the equations to eliminate p would be the correct step because when you add the equations together, the variable p would cancel out and be eliminated leaving you with 2w=35 you can then solve for the value of w which you can then input to find the value of p, allowing you to solve for the values of both p and w.
First thing to do with this problem is to plot the given data in MS excel. We can see in the graph that the minima (lowest point of the graph) is at (4,-2) and the maxima is at (2,3). The critical points are points which the direction changes from one side to another.

Answer:
c: is the answer 2 (3 x + 4) (x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
6 x^2 + 20 x + 16
Factor 2 out of 6 x^2 + 20 x + 16:
2 (3 x^2 + 10 x + 8)
Factor the quadratic 3 x^2 + 10 x + 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 3 and the constant term is 8. The product of 3 and 8 is 24. The factors of 24 which sum to 10 are 4 and 6. So 3 x^2 + 10 x + 8 = 3 x^2 + 6 x + 4 x + 8 = 2 (3 x + 4) + x (3 x + 4):
2 2 (3 x + 4) + x (3 x + 4)
Factor 3 x + 4 from 2 (3 x + 4) + x (3 x + 4):
Answer: 2 (3 x + 4) (x + 2)
