Okay so 3x + 3 - 244 = -238 so I think you would put -238 on the number line and then fill in the line to the negative spot I hope that helps
by the use of elimination method
make all coefficients of subject to be eliminated similar..by multiplying the coefficients with one another
for eqn(i)
5(-10y+9x=-9)
-50y+45x=-45
for eqn(ii)
9(10y+5x=-5)
90y+45x=-45
-50y+45x=-45
90y+45x=-45
...subtract each set from the other...
we get
-140y+0=0
y=0
from eqn(i)
10y+5x=-5
0+5x=-5
x= -1
I think you're right. I'm in pre-algebra, and sucks at it. Yet, I keep a A.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given expression</u>
4x³ + 24x² - 288x
<u>Factorize 4x out from the expression</u>
4x · x² + 4x · 6x - 4x · 72
4x (x² + 6x - 72)
<u>Cross multiply to factorize the remaining polynomial expression</u>
<em>The meaning is to allow the factored product of the constant to add up to the first-degree term</em>
x 12
x -6
<u>Combine the result</u>

Hope this helps!! :)
