In order to solve it, we need find the zero of the polynomial.

we find the zero of the polynomial by splitting the middle term method

2x2 -+ 4x - 16

= 2x2 + 8x - 4x -16

= 2x( x + 4)- 4(x + 4)
= (2x-)(x+4)

we find the zeroes of the factors

experimentally we find two values, 2 and -4.

Thus, values of x are 2 and -4

Chang and Carlotta solve this problem in two different ways. You have $50 in your bank account. You make $8 per hour mowing lawn
Daniel [21]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by inputting the values into an equation. Here is the equation below:

50 + 8x = 130

Lets solve for x. First you subtract 50 from 130.

1) 8x = 130 - 50

2) 8x = 80

Next, you divide 80 by 8 to get x by itself.

1) x = \frac{80}{8}

2) x = 10

This means that you must mow lawns for 8 more hours to get a total of $130 in your bank account.
