X-the number
16 + 2x = -24 |subtract 16 from both sides
2x = -40 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = -20</u>
Answer: <em>The number is -24</em>
Answer:
5x+56
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8(5+2)
5x+8(7)
It's not the difference of squares, rather it is the square of a difference. That leaves a perfect square trinomial, which narrows your selection to two choices. An expression with 2 terms is not a trinomial, so that further narrows your selection. The appropriate choice is
... (4xy -3z)² = 16x²y² -24xyz +9z², a perfect square trinomial
_____
The expression you have in your problem statement has no z term, so none of the choices is applicable to that one.
