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

A stray dog ate 25 of your muffins that was 5/6 of all of them with how many did you start?

Maru [420]

Answer:

30 = total muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many muffins were eaten, we take the total muffins times the fraction that were eaten

eaten muffins = total muffins * fraction

25 = total muffins* 5/6

Multiply each side by 6/5

6/5*25 = total muffins *5/6*6/5

30 = total muffins
