Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
You can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, shopping mall parking garage charges $2 for the first half hour and $1.20 for each additional half hour (even if it is under 30 minutes)
Therefore,
Cost for first half an hour = $ 2
Cost for each additional half an hour = $ 1.20
Let "x" be the number of each additional half hour
Therefore, total cost to pay is given as:
Total cost = Cost for first half an hour + (Cost for each additional half an hour)(number of each additional half hour)
Total cost = 2 + 1.20x
<em><u>Given you have $ 8 in cash</u></em>

Total hours parked = first half an hour + 5
Thus you can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
So to solve this you need to reverse factor this problem
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
The common formula is this for factoring ax^2 + bx + c
Now you have to think what multplties to "c" and adds up to "b".
So in this case it's 7 x 1 = 7 and 7 + 1 = 8
So you set it up like this
(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0
So now you can check the factors by multiplying them together and see if it gets your original equation which is does.
So finally to get the answers you need to set each parenthesis to 0 and solve for x.
x + 7 = 0
x + 1 = 0
and we get x = -1 and - 7
You can also plug these two answers back into your original equation to see if it equals 0.
