X²-8x
factor out x
x(x-8)
y=x(x-8)

Answer: 6</h3>
Mark the locations -6 and 0 on the number line. Note that going from -6 to 0, or vice versa, will take exactly 6 steps. Put another way, the distance between 0 and -6 is 6 units. Absolute value represents distance, so it is never negative.
We say 
Effectively, all we're doing is removing the negative sign.
Answer: C is correct, 4x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
You will add the two equations...
4x-8=0
Now you need to move the -8 over, which reverses its sign to positive.
4x=8
Let n be a number of balls: n = 14
In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20
Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>
