Step-by-step explanation:
(x+8) (x-5)
multiply
x×x=x
8×-5=-40
I’m assuming what you’re asking here is how to *factor* this expression. For that, let’s rearrange the expression into a more familiar form:
-c^2-4c+21
From here, we’ll factor out a -1 so that we have:
-(c^2+4c-21)
Let’s focus on the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. To find our factors (c + x)(c + y), we’ll need to find two terms x and y that multiply together to make -21 and add together to make 4. It turns out that the numbers -3 and 7 work out perfectly for that purpose (-3 x 7 = -21 and 7 + (-3) = 4), so substituting them in for x and y, we have:
(c + (-3))(c + 7)
(c - 3)(c + 7)
And adding back on the negative from a few steps earlier:
-(c - 3)(c + 7)
Answer:
= 15x +30y -220
Step-by-step explanation:
We can easily get another expression if we multiply each individual term, and
add together the result
30(1/2x-2)+40(3/4y-4)
= 15x-60 +30y-160
= 15x +30y -220

Answer:
Length = 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2 x ( length + width )
20 = 2 x (length + 2)
10 = Length + 2
10 - 2 = Length
Therefore, Length = 8 feet
