I’m assuming what you’re asking here is how to *factor* this expression. For that, let’s rearrange the expression into a more familiar form:
-c^2-4c+21
From here, we’ll factor out a -1 so that we have:
-(c^2+4c-21)
Let’s focus on the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. To find our factors (c + x)(c + y), we’ll need to find two terms x and y that multiply together to make -21 and add together to make 4. It turns out that the numbers -3 and 7 work out perfectly for that purpose (-3 x 7 = -21 and 7 + (-3) = 4), so substituting them in for x and y, we have:
(c + (-3))(c + 7)
(c - 3)(c + 7)
And adding back on the negative from a few steps earlier:
-(c - 3)(c + 7)
-2xy + 5x² +4y -10x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A)
The first one because the x don’t repeat
Answer: 3 min
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Find the constant speed
you walked 1000 feet in 15 min
1000 ft/ 15min=200/3 ft / min
Step 2. Apply the constant speed to the left distance
You already walked 1000 feet and it is total 1200 feet
1200-1000=200 feet left
distance ÷ speed=time
200 ÷ (200/3)=3 min
Hope this helps!! :)
