Factor to this equation out, the easiest way is to solve for the two x values that add up to -1 but when multiplied is equal to -6. It should look like this: (x +- ?)(x +- ?).
The factored out form is then (x - 3)(x +2), because -3 + 2 = -1 and when multiplied together gives -6.
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
The two solutions are therefore, x = 3 and x = -2.
Hope it helps

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a careful look at a(n) = 6(-8)^(n-1).
The first term is 6. This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6. Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.
What's the next term? Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.
The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.
Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.

Answer:
<h3>-10a² + 5a</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression (–5a)(2a – 1)
Open the bracket
(–5a)(2a – 1)
= -5a(2a) -5a(-1)
= -10a² + 5a
<em>hence the equivalent expression is -10a² + 5a</em>
