Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
When you factor, you just find two numbers that add to be the first number (16) and multiply to be the second number (64). 8 and 8 both do this. So when we factor, we also add the variable into each equation because it also has been divided into two equations, and we get: (p + 8)(p +8). Notice that the equations are "+8" and not "-8" because two +8s add to give us a +16 and multiply to give us a +64. After that, we just solve the two equations to find the solutions. Subtract 8 from each equation (we do the opposite operation because 8 is positive) to get -8. Because the answer for each equation is the same our answer is -8.
Answer:
The slope of line a is * also.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. Whatever number, fraction, variable, symbol is given for the slope of one line, the other must have the same number, fraction, variable, symbol, if they are parallel.
