Using factorization method;
x²+13x+40=0
x²+13+40
Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).
The two numbers are +5 and +8
The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40
You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)
x(x+5)+8(x+5)
(x+8)(x+5)
x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)
x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)
x= -8 or x= -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
