4 0

we are given

x^2-4x-5

we can use formula

x^2-(a+b)x+ab=(x-a)(x-b)

so, we have

a+b=4

ab=-5

now, we can solve for a and b

and we get

a=5, b=-1

now, we can plug it in formula

x^2-4x-5=(x-5)(x+1) ............Answer

How do I solve 9a-7=110
Sphinxa [80]
You'll need to isolate 9a on the left side of this equation
Please add 7 to both sides of the eqn, obtaining 9a = 117.

Solve for a by dividing both sides by 9:  a = 117/9 = 13 (answer)
