Answer:

(x+4)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two numbers that multiply to -8 and add up to 2. These are 4,-2.

Rewrite the polynomial:

x^2-2x+4x-8

and factor each pair:

x(x-2)+4(x-2) = (x+4)(x-2)

5. a^2 + b^2 = c^2...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
7^2 + 10^2 = c^2
49 + 100 =c^2
149 = c^2....take square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sq rt 149 = c
12.21 = c.....so the approximate length of 3rd side is 12 m

6. x = number of books bought

7. m < 2 + m < 8 = 180

8. 1000 = 400 + 24x
1000 - 400 = 24x
600 = 24x
600/24 = x
25 = x <=== 25 months he will have spent $ 1000
