---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be one number.
One number = x
Other number = 5x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x - x  = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 4 on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number = x = 20
Other number = 5x = 5(20) = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers in increasing order are 20 and 100.

Y = x^2 + 2x - 8 Solve with zeros
Katen [24]

Answer:

x=-4  x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 2x - 8

Set equal to zero

0 = x^2 + 2x - 8

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4 * -2 = -8

4+-2 = 2

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

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0   x-2 =0

x=-4  x=2
