The triangles are similar so the angles are equal
2x^2 - 2 = 10x - 2
2x^2 - 2 - 10x + 2 = 0
2x^2 - 10x = 0
2x(x - 5) = 0
2x = 0 OR x - 5 = 0
x = 0 OR x = 5
0 doesn't make sense, because IF I plug 0 into 2x^2 - 2 I get a negative number. We need to use 5 to find the angle measure
2(5^2) - 2 = 2(25) - 2 = 50 - 2 = 48 degrees or the measure of CED
Answer:
(x-7) (x-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Break the expression into groups:
= x(x-7) -8(x-7)
Factor out x from:
x^2-7x x(x-7)
Factor out -8 from -8x+56:
-8(x-7)
=x\left(x-7\right)-8\left(x-7\right)
