Which statement is true about the equation (x – 4)(x + 2) = 16? The equation x – 4 = 16 can be used to solve for a solution of t

he given equation. The standard form of the equation is x2 – 2x – 8 = 0. The factored form of the equation is (x + 4)(x – 6) = 0. One solution of the equation is x = –6.

Answer:

3rd statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets go through the choices and see.

The first one says:

The equation x – 4 = 16 can be used to solve for a solution of the given equation.

If we solve this we get x=20. I just added 4 on both sides.

Is 20 a solution thr original equation? Let's check. We need to replace x with 20 in

(x – 4)(x + 2) = 16 to check.

(20-4)(20+2)=16

(16)(22)=16

16 times 22 is definitely not equal to 16 so the first statement is false.

Lets check option 2:

The standard form of the equation is

x2 – 2x – 8 = 0.

So lets put our equation in standard form and see:

(x – 4)(x + 2) = 16

Foil is what we will use:

First: x(x)=x^2

Inner: (-4)x=-4x

Outer: x(2)=2x

Last: -4(2)=-8

Add together to get: x^2-2x-8. We still have the equal 16 part.

So the equation is now x^2-2x-8=16. Subtracting 16 on both sides will put the equation in standard form. This gives us

x^2-2x-24=0. This is not the same as the standard form suggested by option 2 in our choices.

Checking option 3:

This says:

The factored form of the equation is

(x + 4)(x – 6) = 0.

So we already put our original equation in standard form. Lets factor our standard form and see if is the same as option 3 suggests.

To factor x^2-2x-24, we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -24 and add to be -2. These numbers are 4 and -6 because 4(-6)=-24 and 4+(-6)=-2. So the factored form of our equation is (x+4)(x-6)=0 which is what option 3 says. So option 3 is true.

Let's go ahead and check option 4: It says: One solution of the equation is x = –6. This is false because solving (x+4)(x-6)=0 gives us the solutions x=-4 and x=6. Neither one of those is -6. *

* I solved (x+4)(x-6)=0 by setting both factors equal to zero and solving them for x. Like so,

x+4=0 or x-6=0.

Answer:

Factored form...

Step-by-step explanation:

Foil out (x-4)(x+2)=16

First: x*x=x^{2}

Outer: 2*x=2x

Inner: -4*x = -4x

Last: -4*2 = -8

Combine them all:

x^2+2x-4x-8=16

Simplify:

x^2-2x-8=16\\x^2-2x-24=0

What multiplies together to make -24 but adds together to make -2?

Lets list the factors of -24 to decide:

1 x -24

2 x -12

3 x -8

4 x -6

-6+4 = -2

Therefore...

(x-6)(x+4)=0

Answer:

27 children

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 children, there are 4 adults. Those numbers added together equal 13. Now, if we divide the total number of adults and children by 13, we will get the number of how many groups there are of 9 kids and 4 adults.

39 / 13 = 3

There are 3 groups of 9 kids and 4 adults, which means to find the total number of children, we have to multiply 3 by 9.

3 * 9 = 27

Therefore, there are 27 children total. I know this was probably really confusing, but I hope it helped in some way! Have a lovely day!! :)

A bus has velocity 20 m/s towards east and another bus has velocity 15 m/s in west direction. If they start to move from a point
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

<em>The first bus has covered 2,400 m and the second bus has covered 1,800 m. They are separated by 4,200 m</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Velocity Motion</u>

A bun has a velocity of 20 m/s towards the east. It means it travels 20 meters each second in that direction. Assuming the east direction is positive, the distance traveled by this bus can be calculated as follows:

X1=20*t

Where t is the time in seconds.

Similarly, the distance traveled by the second bus towards the west is:

X2=-15*t

Note the negative sign because the direction points at the negative reference.

After 2 minutes = 120 seconds have passed, the distance of each bus is

X1= 20*120=2,400 m

X2=-15*120 = 1,800 m

They are separated by 2,400-(-1,800) = 4,200 m

The first bus has covered 2,400 m and the second bus has covered 1,800 m. They are separated by 4,200 m
