The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
-18-(-12)=-6
Since there is two negative sign, it turns into positive meaning the -12 becomes positive 12 and the -18 stays same. So -18+12=-6 because 18 is bigger than 12 and it's negative so the final answer should be negative.
Hint: when you see two negative sign just turn them into plus sign.
We are given the following inequality:
If we replace b = 2, we get:
Now we solve for "a" first by subtracting 8 on both sides:
Now we divide both sides by 6
Simplifying:
Therefore, for b = 2, the possible values of "a" are those that are greater than 1/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A chicken has 2 legs, a pig has four. 13 pigs x 4 legs each = 52
4 chickens x 2 legs each = 8
52+8= 60 legs in total
So there are 13 pigs and 4 chickens
