Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

The answer is: " 128 oz. " .
_________________________________________________________
There are: " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Set up a proportion; as a fraction; as follows:
________________________________________________________
400/ 25 = x / 8 ;
in which: "x" = the number of "ounces [oz.] there are in "8 lbs." ;
________________________________________________________
We shall solve for "x" , the answer to the problem:
Cross-factor multiply:
25x = (400) * 8 ;
→ 25x = 3200 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "25" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 25x / 25 = 3200 / 25 ;
→ x = 128 .

Answer: " 128 oz. " .
_________________________________________________________
There are: " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________
Note of interest: " 16 oz. = 1 lb. " (exact conversion).
So; "8 lbs. <span>= ?</span> oz. " ;
→ " 8 lbs. * (16 oz/ 1 lb) = ( 8 * 16) oz. = 128 oz. ; → which is our answer!
