  1. sry school doesnt start for 2 weeks so until then i refuse.


  2. these are unsolvable. the first one can be distributed and the second one can be factored, but it is impossible to give numbers for the variables

    1. (x+4)(x-7)

    x^2+4x-7x-28

    x^2-3x-28

    2. 10x^2y^3+15x^2y^2-5xy

    5xy(2xy^2+3xy-1)

    make it a good day

  3. 0 = (x + 4)(x - 7) [If that is what you mean - solve that quadratic when it equals 0]

    0 = x + 4

    => x = -4, OR

    0 = x - 7

    => x = 7

    (x + 4)(x - 7) [If you mean to expand]

    = x^2 + 4x - 7x - 28

    => = x^2 - 3x - 28

    I am not skilled enough to do the other one. =(

  4. Lets go for the first one

    Assuming you meant 0=x(x-7)+4(x-7)

    then First lets expand it

    0=x^2-7x+4x-28

    then take the absolute number on the right (28) by adding the number on both sides

    0+28=x^2-7x+40x-28+28

    to get

    28=x^2+3x

    now we solve for x (brain lock can someone pick it up from here) i can see the answer is x=4 or x=-7 but can't just seem to decipher it
