Answer 5

Thanks

Answer 6

You're welcome

Do you know ac method to find factor s ?

Answer 8

No..

Answer 9

Okay first compare this equation with standard quardratic equation ax^2 + bx+c =0 so coan you tell me a = ----? , b = -----? , c = -------?

Answer 10

Answer 15

i have solved this question by factors... but the answer is not matching with your one by one (negative) sign....

Answer 16

By ac method a*c = 24 so we find such two numbers whose product is 24 & sum is -5x so we will get x^2 - 8x + 3x + 24 = 0 now factor out this
x(x- 8) + 3(x+ 8) = 0 now we can not factor out this equation so it is Prime ..

Answer 17

that is D

Answer 18
