You want to use the reverse FOIL method to break up the equation. (front, outer, inner, last) When you do this, you can simplify the equation down to (x+8)*(x-7). That is equivalent to x^2+8x-7x-56 or x^2+x-56.

For x^2-49
this is a diffarence of two perfect squares.  I suggest that this is memorised.
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
so x^2-7^2=(x-7)(x+7)

so to solve x^2+x-56 you want to find out what two numbers add to 1 and multiply to make -56
since -56 is negative we know that the two number are difarent signs so that eliminatess answers B and D.
if we try answer C -8+7=-1 so the answer is not C because we want +1 not -1
then we see that 8+(-7)=1 so the answer is A

8x + 2 – 6 = 4x +8 +3x
Viefleur [7K]
The first step is to combine like terms. So u would do 2-6. You then get -4 then u just bring everything else down. So now u should have this :

8x -4 = 4x + 8 + 3x

Now you do the same thing to the other side. U combine like terms which in this case are 4x and 3x. So u just do 4+3 which is 7 so now u have 7x. So now ur equation would be:

8x -4 = 7x +8

Now u do the inverse of 7 which would be -7 and u do that on both sides. So it would look like this :

8x -4 = 7x + 8
-7x. -7x

So now 7 and -7 cancel each other other and 8 -7 is 1 so now u have one x. So ur equation would now look like this:

1x -4 = 8

Now u do the inverse of negative 4 which is +4. So you would add 4 on both sides on both sides. Like shown:

1x -4 = 8
+4 +4

So u just add 8 + 4 which is 12. Now since anything times 1 is itself ur answer will be X=12
