7 years

First of all, half of 18 is 9, and if you divide 18 by 2.5, it results in 7.2. I hope this helps!

Answer:

C. -4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\frac{1}{2}(8x+2)$

Distribute the term outside of the parenthesis, Multiply each term in the parenthesis by the term outside (do not forget to include the negative sign when multiplying);

$(-\frac{1}{2}(8x))+(-\frac{1}{2}(2))$

Simplify,

$-4x - 1$

What is the value of B?

$2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2(x-8y)(x+By)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=(2x-16y)(x+By)\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=(2x)(x)+(2x)(By)+(-16y)(x)+(-16y)(By)\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2x^2+2Bxy-16xy-16By^2\\\\2x^2-12xy-32y^2=2x^2+(2B-16)xy+(-16By)$
