130 (I have to write 20 character or more so I'm writing this)
60-12-18-2-8=20
=48-18-2-8
=30-2-8
=28-8
=20
So, 20 students don't take either of these subjects.
The area of the deck is :
A ( deck ) = 8 * 27.63 = 221.04 ft²
The area of the sheet of wood:
A ( sheet ) = 4 * 8 = 32 ft²
221.04 : 32 = 6.9 ≈ 7 ( we need a whole number )
Answer: He should buy 7 sheets of wood to cover the surface of the deck.
Answer:
The roots (zeros) of the function are:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function

substitute f(x) = 0 to determine the zeros of the function

First break the expression x² + 3x - 40 into groups
x² + 3x - 40 = (x² - 5x) + (8x - 40)
Factor out x from x² - 5x: x(x - 5)
Factor out 8 from 8x - 40: 8(x - 5)
Thus, the expression becomes

switch the sides

Factor out common term x - 5

Using the zero factor principle
if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

Solve x - 5 = 0
x - 5 = 0
adding 5 to both sides
x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5
x = 5
solve x + 8 = 0
x + 8 = 0
subtracting 8 from both sides
x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8
x = -8
Therefore, the roots (zeros) of the function are:
