Answer:

x = - 4 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4, since

- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Answer:

$8\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since question already gives the number of dollars she will tip, I'm assuming it's asking for percent tipped.

Because the total is $75 and Theresa is tipping $6, she is tipping $\frac{6}{75}=0.08$ of the total. To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100: $0.08\implies 0.08\cdot 100=\boxed{8\%}$
