Answer:x=6
Step-by-step explanation:Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 18 = 18
Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-18 + -1 = -19
-9 + -2 = -11
-6 + -3 = -9 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -3
x2 - 6x - 3x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-3) • (x-6)
Which is the desired factorization

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume n is the number of times she pick a skittle out of the bag
The probability she pick out red : 8/n
The probability she pick out yellow : 12/n
=> The ratio of red and yellow skittle : 8/n : 12/n = 8/12 = 2/3, means every 2 red skittles we have 3 yellow ones.
But we have 50 skittles, so the likely numbers of reds in the bag is = 2*
= 20
