1. (x - 9) + (x + 5)
You split the x^2 into two xs
The one with an x (-4x) is what the two numbers should equal
-9 + 5 = 4
The one without an x (-45) is what the two numbers product should be
-9 times 5 = -45
*so remember the x is the sum of the two
*no x is the product of the two
Theres no quick trick to find the answer u just have to plug it in
*start with all the numbers that multiply for the no x (-45)
-3 and 15 or 3 and -15 is obviously not it as the sum does not equal -4
Those sums equal 12 or -12
I’ll do one more and ur on ur own comrade (ok and ill do number 4)
3. (x - 8) + (x - 9)
ok this time both the answers have a negative
*if it has only one negative in the problem there are going to be TWO negatives in the answer
-8 and -9 sum is -17
-8 and -9 sum is 72
If there was only one negative in the answer it would make the 72 negative and there is no -72 in the problem
So this one is
(x - 8) + (x - 9) (u dont have to have it like this u can put the (x - 9) in the front doesn’t matter which way it’s just the signs (- & +) that matter
OK now 4.
4. This one is very easy as all u need to do is find the two numbers for the product
(X - 6) (X + 6)
(Again it doesn’t matter which () is in front just the SIGNS INSIDE THE PARENTHESES ( + & - )

Answer:
-5x - 3x = 16
-8x = 16
x = -2
y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
I would use the Pythagorean theorem to solve distances between 2 points, and this case is no exception.
We need to find the positive difference in their x coordinates and y coordinates.
The difference in x coordinates: 7
The difference in y coordinates: 8
Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
7^2+8^2 = x^2
49+64 = x^2
113 = x^2
x = sqrt(113)
Therefore, the answer is B.
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume the number Peggy is thinking of be "x".
Now as given, when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number. We can write it as
∴ 
--- Equation 1
Again, it is given that Peggy gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number.
∴ 
-- equation 2
Next, we can equate both the equation 1 and 2 as it is given that result is same.
Let´s distribute 3 into 
and 4 into 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Subtract both side by 4x and 3
∴ 
∴ Peggy was thinking of -7
The answer to the question is D
