Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the trinomial:

First, factor out a 2:

Now, factor within the parentheses.
To do so, we want to find two numbers. When multiplied, these two numbers must equal (a)(c) and when added, they must equal b
(a)(c) is 2(-5) or -10 and b is -3. So, we want two numbers that when multiplied together gives -10 and when added gives -3.
-5 and 2 works. Therefore:

Replace -3x with 2x and -5x:

Factor out a 2x for the first two terms. And factor out a negative 5 for the remaining two:

Grouping:

And we're done!
The answer is true because it is the same
The correct answer for this problem is 0.83.
<u>Part A</u>
If the number is n, then the expression is 7n+6.
<u>Part B</u>
Three times the sum of a number and 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Intercept Form is "y = mx + b"
What it means?
"m" - slope
"b" - y intercept (0,b)
So, we are given the slope, but not the y intercept..
For now, lets fill in the slope.
y = 1/4x + b
We are given a coordinate pair (-2,-1)
Fill it into the equation and solve for b.
-1 = 0.25(-2) + b
-1 = -0.50 + b
- 0.50 = b
We now have the value of "B"
Fill in the rest of the equation:
y = 1/4x + -.50
^ I think that is correct, sorry if it's wrong.
