I think you mean x^2 - 7x + 8
This is a basic factoring problem:
What two numbers multiply to make 8 and add to make -7?
There are no two numbers that work!
Therefore, it is prime
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This next two terms are -14 and -17
Discussion:
Note that -2 -3 = -5 and
-5 -3 = -8 and
-8 - 3 = -11
"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This implies that the next two terms are -11 -3 = -14 and -14 -3 = -17

Answer:
because it doesn't have an equal sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2np + p²
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s = the length of one side of the square. In the case of the smaller square the area would be: n x n = n². Since the side of the larger square is 'p' inches longer, the length of one side is 'n + p'. To find the area of the larger square, we have to take the length x length or (n +p)².
Using FOIL (forward, outside, inside, last):
(n + p)(n+p) = n² + 2np + p²
Since the area of the first triangle is n², we can subtract this amount from the area of the larger square to find out how many square inches greater the larger square area is.
n² + 2np + p² - n² = 2np + p²
Step 1:
First, find the total number of students.
Let the total number of students = m
Step 2:
Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.
48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%
Hence, there are 300 students.
a)
72 students had 1 book.
b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?
percentage that read 2 books = 36%
percentage that read 4 books = 16%
36 - 16 = 20%
There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.
