Answer:
(x+12)
Step-by-step explanation:
The middle number is 8 and the last number is -48.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get 8
Multiply together to get -48
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -4 and 12:
-4+12 = 8
-4*12 = -48
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -4 and 12 to get...
(x-4)(x+12)
But, since (x-4) isn't an option, the answer would be (x+12)
Let X = the number of pennies.
The number of nickels would be 2X
A penny is 0.01 and a nickel is 0.05
Now you have:
0.01x + 2(0.05x) = 8.80
Simplify:
0.01x + 0.10x = 8.80
Combine like terms:
0.11x = 8.80
Divide both sides by 0.11:
x = 8.80 / 0.11
x = 80
Pennies = X = 80 total pennies.
Nickels = 2x = 2 *80 = 160 nickels.
