What is the constant in the following expression? -8x^2+17y+19

(x + 2) • (x - 19)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -38 = -38

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -38  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -17 .

     -38    +    1    =    -37

     -19    +    2    =    -17    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -19  and  2

                    x2 - 19x + 2x - 38

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x-19)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   2 • (x-19)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+2)  •  (x-19)

            Which is the desired factorization

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88

because they could drop even lower..
