If a factor is x+4, that means that the coefficient of x^2 (the number in front of it, which would be 1) and that 20 should be divisible by 20. Now, if you divide 20 by 4, you would get 5, and 1/1 = 1. So, the 2 factors you have is

(x+4)(x+5)

When you FOIL, you would get
x^2+9x+20, which means

b=9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we get the same denominator by finding a common multiple.

20 is the lowest common multiple so let's use that.

9/10 will have to change so that the denominator is 20.

From 10 to 20 we have multiplemultiplied it by 2 so we will do the same to the numerator.

9 × 2 = 18.

The fraction is now 18/20.

Now 3/4 – we will get to 20 by multiplying by 5.

3 × 5 = 15

Now we can compare

18/20 and 15/20

9/10 and 3/4

Graph the equations to solve the system. y = x + 4 y = -x - 6 choose the correct answer a.) solutions: all numbers on the line
Contact [7]
Y = x + 4
y = -x - 6

x + 4 = -x - 6
x + x = -6 - 4
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5

y = x + 4
y = -5 + 4
y = -1

one solution : (-5,-1)
