Step-by-step explanation:
Michael's Weight: 
Al's weight: 
a) Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: 
b) This ratio simplifies to: 

c) Yes, If the exponent in each expression were negative, then we have:
Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: 
This ratio simplifies to: 
The two ratios are not the same.
if you add them all its 340 and the square number is 9
(z-8) (z+2)
What I do to factor is find _x_=-16 and _+_=-6. -8x2=-16 and -8+2=-16. The coordinates for z if you were to graph this would be (8,0) and (-2,0)
