***When x=-5⇒2*(-5)²+6*(-5)-8=12⇒B. statement is true.
***2x²+6x-8 can also be written as (x+5)*(2x-4)+12 so (x+5) is a factor of 2x²+6x-8⇒C. statement is true.

The top two answers are equivalent, while the bottom one is not. You would use distributive property in the parentheses. If both expressions are the same, they are equivalent
Answer:
3x-11
Step-by-step explanation:
f (x) = 3x - 5
f(x-2)
Replace x in the function with x-2
f (x-2) = 3(x-2) - 5
=3x-6 -5
=3x-11
To compare these numbers, you must first put them into one format. Since you have mixed numbers, you may have to find and use the LCD.
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -12/4, 18/5, 10 could be simplified somewhat immediately:
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -3, (3 3/5) This set of numbers is simple enough so that you could rearrange them in ascending order mentally:
-3, -2.5, 1/5, (3 3/5), 10
In this case the number of elements in this set is odd, so all you have to do is to select the MIDDLE element: 1/5.
The median is 1/5.
You MUST learn this procedure (arranging the set elements in ascending order and selecting the middle element) so that you can apply it yourself.
