<h3>The missing number is equal to -5.</h3>

-2(x + 9) = -8

Distributive property.

-2x - 18 = -8

Add 18 to both sides.

-2x = 10

Divide both sides by -2.

x = -5

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The function that will produce the same graph as the function y=(x+1)(x-3) would be y=x^2-2x-3. Both equations are the same. You can confirm it by simplifying the equation. Hope this answers the question.
