There isn’t any correct answer
Answer: (x−2)(x−2)
The middle number is -4 and the last number is 4.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -4
Multiply together to get 4
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -2 and -2:
-2+-2 = -4
-2*-2 = 4
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -2 and -2 to get...
(x-2)(x-2)
Answer:
(x−2)(x−2)
so the answer is D.
This would be 8(ab) sooo yaaaa
<span>if you're finding the x intercept, y is ALWAYS 0, so in this, you can just get rid of the -4y because you know that it's 0, so you're left with 2x=12 divide by 2 on both sides so you find x intercept is (6,0) on the graph
the y works the same way, if you're looking for the y, you know that the x is zero, so you're left with -4y=12, divide by -4y on both sides and you end up with the y intercept being (0,-3)
x int.= (6,0)
y int.= (0,-3)
by the way, when it's written like that, it's called standard form, so to find the intercepts on 2x=12+4y, you'd have to convert it into standard form (Ax=By=C) so you subtract 4y on both sides to make it 2x-4y=12, and then once you have it like that you can do the math to find the y and x intercepts.

G = how many contests that Gertrude won
e = how many contests Elena won
Gertrude 4 more times than Elena
g = e + 4
They won a total of 18 contests
g + e = 18
