(x - p)(2x² + 9x + 10) = (x² - 4)(2x + q)
2x³ + 9x² + 10x - 2px² - 9px - 10p = 2x³ + qx² - 8x - 4q
<u>-2x³                                                  -2x³                          </u>
         9x² + 10x - 2px² - 9px - 10p = qx² - 8x - 4q
        <u>          +8x                                        +8x          </u>
                   9x² + 18x - 2px² - 9px = qx² - 4q

Sarah started 3 miles below the rim of the canyon and hiked until she was 8 miles above the rim. Her brother Sam said she hiked
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the rim of the canyon is 0. Sarah started 3 miles <u>below</u>, so -3, BUT distance can never be negative, so it's considered 3 miles. Then, she went 8 miles <u>above</u> zero. So the 3 miles she went <em>before</em> reaching the rim plus the 8 miles she went <em>after</em> reaching the rim equals 11 miles.

So now we know that Sarah is right, but how do we know which equation is correct? Well, if we look at option C:

|-3+8|=11

When solving absolute value, we solve everything within the absolute value before applying the absolute value. This means that we add -3+8 first, which equals 5, and then apply absolute value, which still equals 5. This equation is not correct.

I hope this helps!

Given the expression 6/4/2, we are to express as a single fraction.

6/4/2
