Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

Split to 2

Factorize the first bracket

Represent the _ with X

Factorize the second bracket

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

Subtract b from both sides


Multiply both sides by 5


Substitute -15 for X in 




The two linear expressions are
and 
Their product will result in 
<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>
Hello,
(-9)⁴= (-9).(-9).(-9).(-9)= 81.81 = 6561
4:9
24:x
Set up a proportion
4/9=24/x
4x=216
x=54
a) 54 is your answer
hope this helps, and please give brainliest if it does!
