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)

Write a rule for the linear function in the table. x f(x) –3 –1 0 2 3 5 6 8
Kryger [21]
So the points are
(x,f(x))
(-3,-1)
(0,2)
(3,5)
(6,8)

hmm, find slope

slope betweeen 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope betwen (0,2) and (3,5) Is (5-2)/(3-0)=3/3=1

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
given slope=1

y=1x+b
find b

input a point
(3,5)
x=3 and y=5
5=1(3)+b
5=3+b
2=b


y=1x+2 is the equaiton

Gladys classifies the following system of equations.
netineya [11]

The system is inconsistent because the slopes are the same and the lines are different.

A linear equation is of the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Given the following system of equations:

y = 6x + 2     (1)

y = 6x + 1      (2)

We can see that both equations have the same slope of 6 but have different y intercepts.

Hence the system is inconsistent because the slopes are the same and the lines are different.
