No, and never, cus there ain't any numbers that are greater than 1 that can go into both of them.
<span>so basically if the numerator is 1, you can't simplify it anymore. Is Impossible.</span><span />

Answer:
x>7 or x ≤ -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the 1st inequality
-6x +14 < -28 --------------- (Collect like terms)
-6x < -28 - 14
-6x < - 42 -------------------- (Divide both sides by -6)
Note: If you decide an inequality expression by a negative value, the inequality sign changes)
-6x/-6 > -42/-6
x > 7
Solving the 2nd inequality
9x + 15 ≤ −12 ----------- (Collect like terms)
9x ≤ −12 - 15
9x ≤ −27 ------------------(Divide both sides by 9)
9
9x/9 ≤ −27/9
x ≤ -3
Bring both results together, we get
x>7 or x ≤ -3
The final result is complex (i.e. can't be combined together).
using the FOIL method the equation gets pretty long
Multiply each term by each term and combine like terms the given equation simplifies to:
f(x) = -2x^5 - 9x^4 - 8x^3 + 15x^2 +28x + 12
The degree is equal to the highest exponent, which is the 5 on -2x^5
The degree is 5
The y intercept is the value of y when x is 0
Replace all the x's with 0 and solve the equation:
f(x) = -2(0)^5- 9(0)^4 - 8(0)^3 + 15(0)^2 +28(0) + 12
= 0 -0 -0 + 0 +0 +12 = 12
The y intercept is (0,12)
Your answer is -3.
