So firstly, what two terms have a product of 8x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be x and 8x. Replace 9x with x + 8x: 
Next, factor x^2 + x and 8x + 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as 
Now using zero product property, solve for x:
<u>In short, the solutions are {-1,-8}, or C.</u>
The answer is A because its the only answer that explains the process of credit becoming debt correctly.
Answer:
B. Multiply 8 by 4 is the answer
Answer:
1. Number of warts on a toad ⇒ <em>discrete variable</em>
2. Survival time after poisoning ⇒ <em>continuous variable</em>
3. Temperature of porridge ⇒ <em>continuous variable</em>
4. Number of bread crumbs in 10 meters of trail ⇒ <em>discrete variable</em>
5. Length of wolves’ canines ⇒ <em>continuous variable</em>
A discrete variable is the one which takes over range of real number, for a value in range that variables are permitted to take, there is minimum distance to nearest permissible value. In contrast, continuous variables are the one which can take infinitely many values.
This the only option to find x since doing the other way like 3x + 2 = 3x + 2 gives it an infinite solution.
4x - 1 = 3x + 2
-3x -3x
1x - 1 = 2
+1 +1
1x = 3
--- ----
1 1
x = 3
Check:
4(3) - 1 = 3(3) + 2
12 - 1 = 9 + 2
11 = 11
