So firstly, since we know that the coefficient of x² is 1, this means that this is our base equation:
y = x² + bx + c
Now, since we know that the roots are -7 and 1, set y = 0 and set x = -7 and 1 and simplify:
Now with this, we can set up a system of equations to solve for b and c. For this, I will be using the elimination method. For this, subtract the 2 equations:
Now that the c variable has been eliminated we can solve for b. For this, divide both sides by -8 and your first part of your answer is b = 6.
Now that we know the value of b, plug it into either equation to solve for c:
<u>Putting it together, your final answer is x² + 6x - 7 = 0.</u>

We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:
<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.
<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>
