For 15 the answer is 8
for 16 the answer is 9
for 17 the answer is 1
Point v is graphed on a number line at -6...point u is 8 units away from v....notice that it doesn't say which way....so it can go either way....so we need to find 8 units away from -6 in both directions
-6 + 8 = 2
-6 - 8 = -14
so point u can be either at 2 or at -14...ur answers are A and D
I don't know what you mean by factors, but the quadratic equation of m^2 - 12m + 20 can be simplified to (m - 10)(m - 2).
Hope this helps!
