Answer:

D. 3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression, x² - x - 12, let's factorise to find the value of p and q using the table, for which we would have the expression simplified as (x + p)(x + q)

From the table, let's find the values of p and q that would give us -12 when multiplied together, and would also give us -1 when summed together.

Thus, from the table given, the row containing the values of p(3) and q(-4) gives us = -1 (p+q) . p = 3, q = -4 would be our values to use to factor x² - x - 12, as multiplying both will also give us "-12".

Thus, x² - x - 12 would be factorised or simplified as (x + 3)(x - 4)

Therefore, the answer is: D. 3 and -4

How much is one can of peaches if the price for three is 2.99?

BabaBlast [244]

If the price for three of them is $2.99, then you divide that by three to find the price for one can. This would equal .9966666667, which could probably be rounded to 99 cents or just a dollar per can. Hope that helps.

What are the slope between (-5,-2) and (8,13)

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The slope:

$m = \frac{15}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-To determine the slope of the following points shown, you need this formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

( $m$ represents the slope, $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ represents the first coordinate and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ represents the second coordinate)

-Apply the following points to the formula:

$m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}$

Then, solve:

$m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}$

$m = \frac{15}{13}$

So, the slope is $\frac{15}{13}$ .

-2x-2+x^2+x+180+-2x-2=180

Dominik [7]

Answer:

x= 4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 2 + x^2 + x + 180 - 2x - 2 = 180

add like terms and put in descending order

x^2 - 3x + 176 = 180

subtract 180 from both sides

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

factor out the equation

(x-4)(x+1)=0

solve for x

x-4=0 x+1=0

x=4 x=-1
