Answer:
(p - 8)(p - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need 2 numbers whose product is + 72 and whose sum = -17.
They are -8 and -9
Answer:
B is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to find a value for
such that:
is true for every
.
So let's choose
:




Divide both sides by -8:



Note: I didn't want to choose y to be 0 because the value of B would disappear from the equation. So you should be able to have chosen any x and y except for y=0 to solve the equation for B.
Check:
So let's check and use foil to multiply out the right hand side.




There was a 2 in front of that multplicapltiation:



This is exactly what we have on the left hand side of your given equation.
