The student went wrong in step three. the solutions should have been -3 and 5
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
-2*4=-8
-8 is the correct answer
Answer:
I believe it is: 6n+8+7y+4m
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't do anything about the numbers with variables afterwards, so you just list those and you just add and subtract the numbers without variables. Since the top and bottom are the same, you just list it once. Sorry, not the best explanation. Please let me know if I am wrong. It's been a while since I had to any type of algebra.
