What are the solutions of the equation (x - 6) (x - 8) =8

enot [183]

Answer:

x=4 x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6) (x - 8) =8

We need to multiply out the left side

x^2 -8x -6x+48 = 8

x^2 -14x +48 = 8

Subtract 8 from each side

x^2 -14x +48-8 = 8-8

x^2 -14x+40 =0

We need to factor the left side. What two numbers multiply to give 40 and add to give -14

-4*-10 = 40

-4+-10 = -14

(x-4) (x-10) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4=0 x-10 =0

x=4 x=10

The deck on a home is shaped like a parallelogram. The parallelogram has an area of 544.5 ft2 and a base measurement of 16.5 ft.

defon

Answer:

The height of the parallelogram is 33 ft

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram can be calculated using the following rule:

Area of parallelogram = base * height

In the problem, we are given that:

Area = 544.5 ft²

Base = 16.5 ft

Substitute with the given values in the above equation and solve for the height as follows:

Area = base * height

544.5 = 16.5 * height

$height = \frac{544.5}{16.5} = 33 ft$

Hope this helps :)
