Algebra.Com's Answer #306430 by oberobic(2304) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! So far, so good. \n" ); document.write( "But now you have to factor it. \n" ); document.write( "What two terms can you multiply to get 16? \n" ); document.write( "1 * 16 \n" ); document.write( "2 * 8 \n" ); document.write( "That's it. \n" ); document.write( "... \n" ); document.write( "Now add them together \n" ); document.write( "1 + 16 = 17 \n" ); document.write( "2 + 8 = 10 \n" ); document.write( "That's the one you're looking for: 10, as in 10y. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "So, we can factor the equation: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "We can check this to be sure. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "But really, we solve these types of equations to find values of y. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "y = -2 or y = -8 to make the equation = 0. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " |
