Answer:

x = - 6, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, hence

(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

A business has a netloss of $419.18 Does that mean the breakeven is 419.18??
slamgirl [31]
It means that everything the business took in was $419.18 less than everything it spent to be in business during the same period of time. It doesn't tell you what either of those amounts was. Just the difference between them.

Angles that form a linear pair add up to 180 degrees.

If the measure of angle 1 is 113, then all we must do is subtract:

180-113=67 degrees

And we're done!

Good luck! :)

Hope it helps you!
