Answer:

x=-6, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+13x=-42

x^2+13x-(-42)=0

x^2+13x+42=0

factor out the trinomial,

find two numbers that when they multiply,

you get the third term, which is 42 in this case.

And when you add them, you get the second term, which is 13 in this case.

(x+6)(x+7)=0

zero property

x+6=0, x+7=0,

x=0-6=-6

x=0-7=-7

Answer:

x = - 7 or x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 13x = -42

x² + 13x + 42 = 0

The key to factorization method is to break the second term into two; whose product gives the product of the first term and the third term.

That is,

13x = (7x + 6x)

(42×x²) = (7x)(6x)

x² + 13x + 42 = 0

x² + 7x + 6x + 42 = 0

x(x + 7) + 6(x + 7) = 0

(x + 6)(x + 7) = 0

Either (x+7) = 0 or (x+6) = 0

x = - 7 or x = - 6

Hope this Helps!!!

Which input value produces the same output value for the two functions on the graph?
Tanzania [10]
The question is also the same as asking what is the x value of the solution of the two functions graphed above. The solution is the point where these lines intersect. So, from the choices, the correct answer would be the second option. The input value that <span>produces the same output value for the two functions on the graph would be x=-2. Hope this answers the question.</span>

u+e=282
50u+20e=10,680
______________
-20u-20e=-5640    need to multiply first equation by -20 to eliminate 20
5u+20e=10,680
_____________
30u+0= 5040  
30u=5040 now divide by 30
u=5040/30
u=168
