The trick here is to notice that all 3 terms can be div. by 2:
2(x^2 + x - 12)
Note that -12 factors into -3 * 4 or -4 * 3. Thus,
x^2 + x - 12 = (x-4)(x+3), and so <span>2x2 + 2x − 24 = 2(x-4)(x+3).</span>
I think the answer is the one in the bottom right.
Answer: B
Explanation:
We can substitute burgers for m and drinks for p, since all burgers are the same price and drinks are the same price, substitute the 3 burgers and 2 drinks into
3m+2p
The only right answer for this equation is $13.50, substitute the 5m+4p=$23.50 and your only right answer is B

Answer: G) -2</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to say (a+y)^2 + 2y
Replace each copy of 'a' with 5. Replace each copy of 'y' with -3. Use PEMDAS to simplify.
(a+y)^2 + 2y
(5 + (-3))^2 + 2(-3)
(5-3)^2 + 2(-3)
(2)^2 + 2(-3)
4 + 2(-3)
4 - 6
-2
So (a+y)^2 + 2y = -2 when a = 5 and y = -3.
