Can anyone pls help me with this I'll mark as brainlist for correct answer please do explain in detail each answers Ty! (I'm preparing for my maths exam tmr)​

Question 8

a^2 + 7a + 12

= (a+3)(a+4)

When factorising a quadratic, the product of the two factors should equal the constant term (12), and the sum of the two factors should equal the linear term (7). To find the two factors, list out the factors of 12 (1x12, 2x6, 3x4) and identify the pair that adds up to 7 (3+4).

An alternative method if you get stuck during your exam would be to solve it algebraically using the quadratic formula and then write it in the factorised form.

a = (-7 +or- sqrt(7^2 - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1)

= (-7 +or- sqrt(1))/2

= -3 or -4

These factors are the negative of the values that would go in the brackets when written in factorised form, as when a = -3 the factor (a+3) would equal 0. (If it were positive 3 instead, then in the factorised form it would be a-3).

Question 10

-3(x - y)/9 + (4x - 7y)/2 - (x + y)/18

Rewrite each fraction with a common denominator so you can combine the fractions into one.

= -6(x - y)/18 + 9(4x - 7y)/18 - (x + y)/18

= (-6(x - y) + 9(4x - 7y) - (x + y)) /18

Expand the brackets and collect like terms.

= (-6x + 6y + 36x - 63y - x - y)/18

= (29x - 58y)/18

= 29/18 x - 29/9 y

the fist one is not equalvalent but i think th second one isand the third isnt definetly or the last one is i think. hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
