You can factor this
x^2 + 10x + 16 = 0
(x + 8)(x + 2) = 0
so x + 8 =0 or x + 2 = 0
x = -8, -2
Answer:
Simone is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Line 1:


Line 2:


Required
Is Simone correct?
Slope (m) is calculated using:

For Line 1




For Line 2:


Divide by 2/2



By comparison, both lines have the same slope.
Hence, Simone is correct
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 7 = -4 and 3(3) + 2(-7) = -5, so D is the only choice that is correct for both inequalities.
-2(8m+8) = -16
-16m - 16 = -16
His first mistake lies in his distribution. When multiplying -2 * 8, he made it a positive 16, when he should have made it a negative 16.
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to each side.
-16m = 0
Divide that by -16
m = 0
