Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2-8p-9

factor out the trinomial

(p-9)(p+1)

Therefore, she's incorrect. Because (p-1)(p+9)=p^2-p+9p-9=p^2+8p-9 and that's different from p^2-8p-9.

therefore

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

we know that

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

using proportion

Find out how many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1

Let
