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

3. 65x5= 325
she traveled 325 feet in 5 minutes
4. 3(6) +5 = 23
    6cube - 10 =206
5. area of the triangle is 1/2x base x height
so 1/2 x 15 x 10 = 75
7. they'll have 6 sections. 3/4 divided by 1/8 is 6

hope this helps :)

A PAIR OF JEANS MARKED AT R450 IS SOLD AT DISCOUNT OF 25%.​
Stolb23 [73]

Original price is the jeans = Rs450

Discount = 25%

Discount amount

= 25% of 450

= 25%(450)

= 25/100 × 450

= 25/10 × 45

= 5/2 × 45

= 225/2

= Rs112.5

Price after discount

= original price - discount amount

= 450 - 112.5

= Rs337.5

Decide whether the numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle. If they can, classify the triangle as right, acute, or
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

4) i) The numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) Right triangle

5) i) The numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) Isosceles triangle

6) i) The numbers can represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle

ii) Pythagoras theorem

7) The numbers do not represent the lengths of sides of a triangle

8) i) The numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of the two shorter sides is longer than the length of the longest side

The given numbers are;

4) i) 15, 20, 25

Given that 15 + 20 < 25, the numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) 15² + 20² = 25²

Therefore, the sides lengths are in line with the side length of a right triangle as their relation is given by Pythagoras theorem

The triangle is a right triangle

5) i) The given numbers are;

2, 6, 6

Given that 2 + 6 > 6, the numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) Given that the lengths of two sides are equal (6 each), the triangle formed by the numbers is an isosceles triangle

6) i) 0.27, 0.36, 0.45

0.27 + 0.36 = 0.63 > 0.45, therefore, the numbers can represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle

ii) Given that 0.27² + 0.36² = 0.45², according to Pythagoras theorem, the type of triangle formed is a right triangle

7) 2.5, 1.5, 4

Given that 2.5 + 1.5 = 4, the numbers do not meet the criteria for forming triangles and therefore they cannot represent the side lengths of a triangle

8) i) 12,  16, 25

12 + 16 = 28 > 25, the numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle

ii) 12² + 16² = 400 < 25² = 625, therefore, the triangle formed by the numbers is not a right triangle but a scalene triangle.
