4x^2+23x-72=
4x(x+8)-9(x+8)=
i got dis 4 yo answer and it is (x+8)(4x-9)
hope dis helped
It would be in a state of loss because the units manufactured neither reaches nor exceeds the break even point.
4(x-3)-(2x+5)=-3x-27
4*x - 4*3 - 2x - 5 = -3x - 27
4x - 12 - 2x - 5 = -3x - 27
2x - 17 = -3x - 27
2x + 3x = -27 + 17
5x = -10 / : 5
x = -2
Easily, you write the inverse of it without a minus
so if you were to find x^(-2) it would be (1/x)^2
The rest is all the same
