Answer:

a) (2x+7)(x-4)

b) x = -7/2 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (2x ?)(x ?)

set up the above and considered factors of 28 that, when paired with 2, would give me -1x and -28 → (1·28, 2·14, 4·7)

after trial-and-error, found that 4 and 7 worked (used un-FOIL)

b) 2x + 7 = 0

2x = -7

x = -7/2

*********

x-4 = 0

x = 4

What is the equal equation?

Nataly_w [17]

We can use the distributive property to simplify this expression.

I split this up into different parts--it helps me visualize better.

To begin, "-2m(m + n - 4)" becomes "-2m^2 - 2mn + 8m"

Then, "5(-2m + 2n)" becomes "-10m + 10n"

Finally, "n(m + 4n - 5)" becomes "mn + 4n^2 -n"

We can then simplify even further by combining like terms. The final expression is: C

Hope this helps!
