Write an expression that is the product of two factors and is equivalent to - 2x - 16. Which expression is the product of two factors and is equivalent to - 2x - 16?
O A. -2x-1-15
OB. -2(x-8)
OC. (8x - 1)-(10x-15)
OD -2(X + 8)

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Our answer will be D. We can eliminate choices A and C since they are not products. In other words, they are not multiplying factors together; they are only adding or subtracting.

Answer B does not work, as when it is multiplied out, we get -2x + 16.

When we find the product of D, we distribute the negative and get the correct product, -2x - 16

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
