This polynomial does not factor so you have to complete the square or use Quadratic formula.
x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0
Using completing the square, subtract 7 from both sides.
x^2 + 6x = -7
divide 6 by 2 = 3, square 3 = 9, add 9 to both sides.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = 2
(x + 3)^2 = 2
Take the sqrt of both sides
x + 3 = + - sqrt 2
subtract 3 from both sides
x = - 3 + - sqrt 2
This is not an answer choice but it is the correct answer. You either typed the choices incorrectly or the equation incorrectly.
Because these are not like terms, they cannot be combined. The variables are different, that's what makes them not like terms
Eight below zero would express the value -8, negative eight,
but not 8.
One dozen= 12
$1.80/12= $0.15 each
Final answer: $0.15
