Answer=(x-2) (x+10)

For this it helps if you do a factoring table but since I will not for the sake of not having an image to show you, I will try and explain my answer.

The expression is: 

x²+8x-20

In this case, since the x² doesn't have a number before it, we know that the beginning x's are solo, so we have...


(x+?)(x+?)

Now to solve the rest of the expression, we need to find two numbers that when multiplied equal -20 and when added equal 8.

a*b=-20
a+b=8

Lets look at the factor pairs of -20

(-1,20) or (1,-20) or (-2,10) or (2,-10) or (-4,5) or (4,-5)

Of all of these, only one pair have a sum of 8

So we can solve the expression

x²+8x-20=(x-2)(x+10)

Other examples include <span>(14 + 6) + 7 = 14 + (6 + 7)
because </span><span>Adding 14 + 6 easily gives the sum of 20 to which we can add 7. The right hand side of the equation is where we add 14 and 13. Both sides will result in 27.</span>

If the probability of a chance event is 0.82, it is more likely to happen than which of the following probabilities of another c
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to remember:

- You can add as many 0's on the end of a decimal and it will still equal the same number, as long as the 0's are on the right side of the decimal point. For example, 0.7 = 0.7000.

- The lowest value has the lowest probability

So, let's rewrite the options with the same amount of decimal points:

1.00

0.90

0.80

0.85

Now, find the value under 0.82. In this option, the lowest value is 0.80, and it is under 0.82, so it is the answer.
