Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: its b
I think p=4
How I solved it:
5(-2)+2p+2(-1)=2p
-10+2p+-2=2p So cross out last
-2p -2p 2p:)
= -10+2p+-2
+10 +10 Cross out the 10
= 2p=8
= divide both sides by 2p
= 2p/2= 8/2
= cross out the 2.
= which leaves
= p=4 we get 4 because we divide 8 to 2:)
I don’t know if I’m right but yea...
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To factor the equation, break it into two binomials which multiply to make the equation. To write these binomials (x+a)(x+b), find factors which multiply to -20 and add to -1 for a and b.
20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
-5+4 = -1

A) no, you can’t have duplicate x values.
B) yes it is negative linear
