Answer:
The graph is the empty number line (no solution)
Step-by-step explanation:
Your expression is (x-8)² < 0. There are no real numbers that give a negative value when squared. There is NO SOLUTION. The graph is empty.

<em>Comment on quadratic inequalities</em>
In general the inequality (x-a)(x-b) < 0 will have a solution when one factor is negative and the other is positive. In general, that will be the case for values of x that are strictly between <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>. In your inequality, that would require you graph numbers that are between 8 and 8. There are none.
Answer: the answer is B

A20-a18=a1+19d-a1-17d=2d =281-97
so
d=92
Answer: B. (-6, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-2(n + 3) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-2(3 + n) + -4 = 8
(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8
(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-6 + -4 + -2n = 8
Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -2n = 8 + 10
-2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18
-2n = 18
Divide each side by '-2'.
n = -9
Simplifying
n = -9
