IMPORTANT:
If you're trying to factor a quadratic in Algebra I:There are no two integers that can solve this problem!
Your quadratic is <em>prime</em>!
If you're trying to solve a quadratic (find x):The factoring approach will not work for the same reasons listed above.
Try using splitting the middle or the quadratic formula instead.
Here's how you would solve it from a more advanced approach.
If you don't know what this stuff is, just ignore it.
ab = -18, a + b = -9
Find a in terms of b.
a = -9-b
Substitute this for a in the first equation.
(-9-b)b = -18
-9b-b² = -18
Multiply everything by -1 to get rid of all these negative signs.
b² + 9b = 18
Bring over that 18.
b² + 9b - 18 = 0
Apply the quadratic formula.
(a = 1, b = 9, c = -18)

If you need to write two distinct numbers, just write out one with a + and one with a - in place of the plus-minus sign.
Answer:
10 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming a rectangular tile
P = 2(l+w) where l is the length and w is the width
P = 2(1+4)
= 2(5)
= 10 inches
If simplifying it means breaking it down with the answer it would be 1/5
X-4y=-12
4x-y=12
eliminate y's
multily 2nd equaiton by -4 and add to top one
x-4y=-12
<u>-16x+4y=-48 +
</u>-15x+0y=-60
-15x=-60
divide both sides by -15
x=4
sub back
x-4y=-12
4-4y=-12
minus 4 both sides
-4y=-16
divide both sides by -4
y=4
x=4
y=4
(x,y)
(4,4)<u>

Low-birthweight i believe.
