4-9= -5 that is the answer
To solve those you need to FOIL or rainbow the distributive property
hope this helped

Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.
-------
Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
We see that in these 3 terms, 6 is a common factor. So, let's factor out a 6:
We can set this equal to 0 and factor by using the quadratic formula which is:
So, let's do just that:
Note that the 6 goes away if you divide both sides by 6. In this case, a = 1, b = -1, and c = -2. Let's plug that into the quadratic equation:
So, we can write this as:
Notice that the 6 comes back because it was only temporarily mad. And that the roots have opposite signs in the parentheses because to find the roots, you need to set each parentheses equal to 0 and solve for n. With that in mind, your final answer is 6(n-1)(n+2). Hope I could help you!
