Answer:

a=-8 b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-16

x^2+(8-2)x-16=0

x^2+8x-2x-16=0

X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0

(X+8)(x-2)=0

Compare with (X+a)(X+b)

Where we get a=-8 b=2

Solve the equation <br> 4b + 22 = 5(b + 4) − 1
djverab [1.8K]

4b + 22 = 5 (b + 4) - 1 (remove the parantheses)

4b + 22 = 5b + 20 - 1 (calculate)

4b + 22 = 5b + 19 (move the terms)

4b - 5b = 19 - 22 (collect like terms and calculate)

-b = -3 (change the signs)

<em>b = 3</em>

Drag steps in the given order to evaluate this expression. <br><br> (4)(−3)−5−3(−6)
never [62]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

using PEDMAS(parentheses, exponents, division, multiply, addition, subtraction) to solve the problem

First we multiply (4)(-3)

(4)(−3)−5−3(−6)

Then multiply -3(-6)

(-12)-5-3(-6)

=-12-5+18

subtract 12-5

-12-5+18

=-17+18

Adding -17+18 gives us 1.

Therefore,  (4)(−3)−5−3(−6) is 1.
