3x+4y=8
4y=-3x+8
divide both sides by 4
y=-3/4x+2
plug y=-3/4x+2 in 3x+4y=8
-> 4.5x+6(-3/4x+2)=12
4.5x-9/2x+12=12
decimal 9/2x=4.5x
4.5x-4.5x+12=12
x=0
plug x=0 in 3x+4y=8
4y=8
y=2

Manny was given the equation (x+2)(x-7)=0 and asked to find the zeros. The solutions he came up with were x=2 and x=-17.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2)(x - 7) = 0 ← in standard form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Thus the zeros are x = - 2 and x = 7
