Answer:
no. see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This much of Josh's working is correct:
x^2-6x=7
x^2-6x+9=7+9
(x-3)^2=16
At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...
x -3 = ±4
x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4
x = 7 or -1
_____
Josh reported values of x that would match ...
x -3 = ±16
He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.

||a|| is called the norm of a. The answer is square root of 58. Hope it helps
Hello! The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0. We already have the expression shown. We will plug in 0 as y to get this:
5x - 8(0) = 40.
As you probably know, anything times 0 is 0, so -8 * 0 is 0. All we have is 5x = 40. Divide each side by 5 to isolate the x. 5x/5 cancels out. 40/5 is 8. There. x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).
