Hi! Can someone please help me with this problem? Consider the equation 4+2(5x-8)=10x+-4 If a = 10 and b = -4, explain how to find the number of solutions to the equation.

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

the answer to this would be 5x^3-6x^2-24 over 3x^2

hope this if needed hmu
