Let the solutions be a and b.
a = -2; b = -10
a + b = -2 + (-10) = -12
ab = (-2)(-10) = 20
(x - a)(x - b) = 0
(x - (-2))(x - (-10)) = 0
(x + 2)(x + 10) = 0
x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20 = 0
x^2 + 12x + 20 = 0
-h = 12
h = -12
4k = 20
k = 5
According to the associative property of equality: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) we can see that the parenthesis do not mean anything when we are only doing addition.
So answers 1. and 3. are correct.

Answer:
reflection and translation
1/4 cups of butter
because 3/4 times 1/3 =
1/4
Y=3
to solve this you just substitute 4 in for x into the equation and solve for y. since negative 3 plus 7 is 4, y=4
