The distance between -6 and -3 on a number line is 3.
You can factor this out by thinking of the factors of 56 that have a sum of -1. 7 and 8 are factors of 56 and to get a sum of -1, 8 should be negative. 7 + -8 = -1
So

factored out is (y+7x)(y-8x)
We can check this using FOIL
F = (y)(y) =

O = (y)(-8x) = -8xy
I = (7x)(y) = 7xy
L = (7x)(-8x) =

Answer 1a 18 1b 36 1c 648
1a : if you look at the shape you will see its made of squares. I counted the squares, its 18.
1b : one side is 6 in. since its a square all sides are equal. so multiply 6 by 6 to get 36.
1c : this one is easy. We take the number of squares across the surface (18) by the area of each square (36) it is 648.
Also sorry I didn't make this clearer earlier.
Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.
12 = 5(3) - 3
12 = 15 - 3
12 = 12
So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .
Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.
4x + 12 = 9x -3
-4x -4x
12 = 5x -3
+3 +3
15 = 5x
x = 3
