Step1: group the first two terms together
next step 2:factor out a GFC from each separate binomical
next step 3: factor out the common binomial
Answer:
He did not control for lurking variables and their impacts on the results of his experiment. Amount of sunlight and water received are two outside variables(or confounding variables) that may impact the growth of his plants and influence the results. He needs to apply the same amount of sunlight and water to each plant within a different planting soil in order to rule out the influence of those two variables and test the sole effect of the soil brand on the plant growth. Otherwise, it would be hard to determine whether his plant growth was because of the soil brand or the different amounts of sunlight and water received
First isolate the "y" in the equation.
2y - x = -12 Add x on both sides
2y - x + x = -12 + x
2y = -12 + x Divide 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself
Your slope is 
.
For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the same. So the parallel line's slope is also
y = mx + b
To find "b", you plug in the point (18,2) into the equation
2 = 9 + b Subtract 9 on both sides
2 - 9 = 9 - 9 + b
-7 = b
Your equation is:
Assuming that means 1.10^t:
0.10 is for years. To get months divide by 12.
0.10/12 = 0.0083333...
And (1+0.083333...) = 1.0833333. (You will have to multiply t by 12 also to get it in terms of months)
(1.0833333)^12t
20 i think sorry if its wrong not my best subject.
