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

Meg found one treasure at − 3 4 foot. Which of these location are higher than − 3 4 foot? Check all that apply. Negative StartFr

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

$\frac{-1}{4}$ and $\frac{-5}{8}$ are the locations higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Meg found one treasure at $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

We are supposed to find Which of these location are higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot?

i) $-\frac{7}{8}$

So, this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

ii) $-\frac{1}{4}$

So, $-\frac{1}{4}>\frac{-3}{4}$

So, this location is higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

iii) - 1 foot

$-1 < \frac{-3}{4}$

So,this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

iv)-2 feet

So,this location is not higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot

v) $\frac{-5}{8}$

So, this location is higher than $\frac{-3}{4}$ foot
