Set up two brackets. Since 7 only has two factors, put 7x in one bracket and x in the other. The two other numbers will be a factor pair of 16 (16,1)(8,2)(4,4). Since the signs are minus, one of the brackets will be plus and one will be minus. Now you just have to put it together in a way that fits. We used to call that trial and error, now it's called guess and check.
(7x + 4)(x - 4)
X2 + 2X - 35(X - 5)(X + 7)================take your pick of these two binomials
a minus take away a minus makes a minus
I suppose that would be 14x2 - 7x3. Just take out the common factor, 7x2. Divide each term by this factor to find the other factor.
And what is the question?If you want to factor that, first take out the common factor of 2, and put whatever remains in parentheses. Then you can use the rule to factor the difference of two squares, to factor what remains within parentheses.
75r^2-48 You can take out 3.So... 3(25r^2-16) 3-parenthesis-25r squared-minus-16-parenthesis (:
You look for a common factor between the two terms, take it out, and use the distributive property.

9a. You take 11 a's: a a a a a a a a a a a and then take away two (minus a, minus a): a a a a a a a a a X X
180 minus 66 minus 90 = 24.
(-4)-(-5)+(-8) =-4+5-8 = -7
Minus means to diminish, or to take away from. For example: To decrease: The weather forecast predicted the winds will decrease by tomorrow. To take away from: 25 take away 10 = 15, which is the same as 25 minus 10 = 15.
to take away ***minus***
