5 0

Answer:

x=−2 or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x2−2x−3=5

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

x2−2x−3−5=5−5

x2−2x−8=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2)(x−4)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or x−4=0

x=−2 or x=4

If represented in a stem and leaf plot, what would be the leaf of the number 329?

sdas [7]

Answer:

You can either do a back to back stem and leaf plot, where you would have double the values. In a normal stem and leaf plot you would just have one set of 3's where you would put all the values that start with 3 in that column. A back to back is the same but instead you would have two 3 values, where anything that is higher than 5 would be in the second value of 3, but anything lower would be in that first value of 3.
