(x-5)(x+2)=0
roots: x=5 and x= -2
see attached photo for steps
Distribute Property 5(x+6) basically means 5×x + 5×6 = 5x+30
37= -3+5x+30 (subtract 30 on both sides)
7=-3+5x (add three on both sides)
10= 5x (divide 5 on both sides)
x=2
Answer:
x² + 2x - 48
Step-by-step explanation:
( x + 8 ) ( x - 6 )
= x ( x - 6 ) + 8 ( x - 6 )
= x*x - 6*x + 8*x + 8*( - 6 )
= x² - 6x + 8x - 48
= x² + 2x - 48
