The two possibilities for y are y = -12 and y = 7.

In order to solve this, we first just factor the equation. In order to factor a quadratic like this, we look for factors of the last number (-84) that add up to the middle number (5). In order to find that, we just need to list the factors.

1 * -84

-1 * 84

2 * -42

-2 * 42

3 * -28

-3 * 28

4 * -21

-4 * 21

7 * -12

- 7 * 12

This last factor is the one that adds to 5. Now we stick these two numbers along with y's into parenthesis.

(y - 7)(y + 12)

Now to solve, we can set each parenthesis equal to 0 to solve.

y - 7 = 0

y = 7

y + 12 = 0

y = -12

Use the difference of squares pattern to factor the polynomial.x2 − 16y2 how would I do this

love history [14]

The general rule for difference of two squares is that when factorised it can be written in the form (a+b)(a-b) where a is the square root of the first part of the function and b is the square root of the second part of the function.
From this we can find the square root of x² to find a and the square root of 16y² to find b.
In this case √x²=x and √16y²=4y
Therefore fully factorised it can be written as (x+4y)(x-4y)

A number divided by 43 has a quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder. Find the number. Show your work. Write another division probl

antiseptic1488 [7]

A quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder means that 43 fits inside our number 3 times, and you have 28 more units as a remainder.

So, our number is

$3\times 43 + 28 = 129+28=157$

To write another division problem that has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 28, we simply choose another number to substitute 43 in the expression above. For example, if we choose 100, the expression becomes

$3\times 100 + 28 = 300+28=328$
