Question

Please solve number 5 for me. Work would be appropriated

Answer 1

Answer:

(x-8)(x+7) in which x = 8, -7 (if needed)

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out first what two numbers can go to 56.  The possible combinations are 1 and 56, 2 and 28, 4 and 14, and 7 and 8.  The middle number has to equal the sum of -1.  Therefore, 7 and 8 will go to that sum with -8 as one and +7 as another.  Your factor should be (x - 8) (x + 7) and when you are finding for the x-values, it should be 8 and -7 when necessary.
