(x-8)(x+5)
First thing you do is put the X's into the parentheticals because it is x^2 meaning there are 2 factors with x's. Then, you wonder what factors of -40 could add to get -3. In this case, they are -8 and 5. -8 times 5 is -40 and -8 +5 is -3. Then, you just add -8 and 5 beside the x's in the parentheticals.
Answer:
The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 is the equivalent to 0.12
square root of 0.02 is 0.14
18% is equal to 0.18
Let x = # of 25-cent stamps
y = # of 2-cent stamps
{ x+ y = 88
{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56
60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps
24 and 2/5=24+2/5
24=24
0.1=1/10
2/5=x/10
times both sides by 10
20/5=x
4=x
2/5=4/10=0.4
24 and 2/5=24+0.4=24.4
