Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
80 - 44 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
It works because even if the numbers are broken apart, you are still multiplying the numbers by their values, it's only different because once broken apart, it's in expanded form instead of standard form. It also makes multiplication easier since you don't have to deal with such large numbers.
(x+7)(x+3) so therefore you set each equation = 0...
x + 7 = 0
x + 3= 0
and solve
x = -3
x = -7
