I don't see any answer choices, but because it already gives you x and y, all you have to do is plug them into the equation.
-(5)-(6)+z=0
combine like terms
-11 + z = 0
add 11 to both sides
z = 11 is your answer
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
Marie states that any integer greater than 4 will always get an even number of factors.
This can be proven wrong by (for example) 12.
12 has these factors:
1 x 12
2 x 6
3 x 4
12 has an ODD number of factor pairs.
Another example is 28.
28:
1 x 28
2 x 14
4 x 7
28 has an odd number of factor pairs.
I hope this helps!
