3(x-7)+8=-20
Multiply the bracket by 3
(3)(x)(3(-7)+8= -20
3x-21+8= -20
3x-13= -20
Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.
3x-13+13= -20+13
3x= -7
Divide by 3
3x/3= -7/3
x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
Answer : x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
Answer:
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Qaudratics are in the form 
Where a, b, c are constants
Now, let's arrange this equation in this form:

Where
a = 1
b = 4
c = -32
We need to know the discriminant to know nature of roots. The discriminant is:

If
- D = 0 , we have 2 similar root and there is 2 solutions and that touches the x-axis
- D > 0, we have 2 distinct roots/solutions and both cut the x-axis
- D < 0, we have imaginary roots and it never cuts the x-axis
Let's find value of Discriminant:

Certainly D > 0, so there are 2 distinct roots and cuts the x-axis twice.
We get the roots/solutions by factoring:

Thus,
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Going 315 km uses up 35 liters of gasoline
On average, 1 liter of gasoline can travel the number of kilometers:
315 : 35 = 9 liters of gasoline
You can draw the 3 rectangles with these measurements then divide one horizontally one vertically and one slanted from one top corner to one bottom corner
Answer: 9483
Step by step
= 4(52)(45)+32)−5
= 4(2340+32)−5
= (4)(2372)−5
= 9488–5
= 9483
