They are not. The easiest way to tell this is by multiplying the last number of each parenthesis together. This should always result in the last number in the equation. However, -8*5 does not equal -30, so these are not the true factors.

You verify your answer by using the F.O.I.L. method. First Outside Inside Last. This shows that (x+5) & (x-8) is not the correct factors for 2x-2x-30 or x2-2x-30. Either way, the factors are not right for either of those equations. Hope my answer helps you

How do you find the median on a dot plot
Andrei [34K]
On the dot plot you would find the numbers, put them in order lowest to highest and either you can take a pencil and mark them out or take your two index fingers and cross the out to see what is in the middle. If there is two numbers then you add them together and divide them then that is the median.

madam [21]

substitute 0 for x in the equation.

-9(0) - 2y= -20

0 - 2y = -20

-2y= -20 (divide by -2)

y = 10

How can you use four rods that measure 2 cm 5 cm 7 cm 9 cm to measure a length of one
vichka [17]
<span>If you put the 9cm and 2cm rods together end-on-end, the new length is 11cm. Now if you repeat this with the 7cm and 5cm rods that new length is 12cm, so the difference between the two is now 1 cm. It does not seem very practical to walk around measuring items using the rods like this, so you could then make a small rod or use a strip of paper equal to the difference (1cm) as a standard measuring tool.</span>
