-2a - 4 > -8
add 4 to both sides

-2a - 4 + 4 > -8 + 4
-2a > -4

divide both sides by -2 AND change the direction of the sign because we're dividing by a negative

a < 2

ANSWER: a < 2

Hope this helps! :)

Hey there!

Firstly, we have to “add” the number “4” on each of your sides

Like: -2a -4 + 4> -8 +4
Cancel: -4 + 4 because it will give you “0”
Keep: -8+4 because it gives you “-4” and we have paid it off with -2a

Like: -2a>-4

Divide each of the sides by “-2”

Like: -2a/2 > -4/-2

Cancel: -2a/2 because it gives us “1”

Keep: -4/-2 because that’ll give us the answer on the left side of the inequality

So, a < 2 would be your answer

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day

I'm confused. Can someone help?
VARVARA [1.3K]

a.

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
