Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the number of cups of butter needed.
Let s represent the number of cups of sugar needed.
Let o represent the number of cups of oat needed.
Let f represent the number of cups of flour needed.
The recipe calls for two times as many cups of sugar as butter. It means that
s = 2b
Two times as many cups of oats as sugar. It means that
o = 2s
Two times as many cups of flour as oats. It means that
f = 2o
If Duane puts in one cup of butter, it means that b = 1
Therefore,
s = 2 × 1 = 2 cups
o = 2s = 2 × 2 = 4 cups
f = 2o = 2 × 4 = 8 cups
Therefore, he needs to add 8 cups of flour
Answer: 4+4=8
Step by step explanation:
Answer:
one solution at x=1,y=4 point
Set up a proportion
160 mi/ 3.2 hrs ≈ 300 mi/x hrs
cross multiply and solve for x and you get x≈6
It will take them 6 hours
