Answer:

x= -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute on both sides

8x -8 = -2x -16

isolate x on one side

10x = -8

x = -8/10

you can simplify that fraction to get

x= -4/5

8 ( x - 1) = -2 ( x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)
Distribute ^
Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?

katrin [286]

Answer:

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the polynomial given.

(4x² - 25) = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)

Check: Use the FOIL method.

(2x)(2x) = 4x²

(2x)(5) = 10x

(2x)(-5) = -10x

(-5)(5) = -25

Simplify. Combine like terms: 4x² + 10x - 10x - 25 = 4x² - 25

A. (2x + 5)(2x - 5) is your answer
