We know -48 came from (a)(-6), the "L" in "FOIL".

If -48 = -6a, then a = 8.

Now with a=8, go ahead and FOIL (x+8)(x-6) to find m.

I am confused on how to do this

So, u would start by expanding the bracket and ignoring the 2 at the moment.
(x+9)(x+9)= x^2-18x+81(using the foil method!

Then u would put 2 at the front to get:
2(x^2+18x+81)
= 2x^2+36x+162

How to solve -27/x^15

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$\frac{-27}{x^{15}}=-\frac{27}{x^{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If you just want to simplify -27/x^15, it is not very difficult. Here is the simple way.</em>

<em />

Given the expression

$\frac{-27}{x^{15}}$

solving

$\frac{-27}{x^{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{27}{x^{15}}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-27}{x^{15}}=-\frac{27}{x^{15}}$
