I thought to say the second sentence because it says that he’s going at a different constant speed but he doesn’t say compared to who... I’m leaning more to the last sentence.
What do you think?
First step is to simplify the inside of the radical. There are x's on both top and bottom of the fraction. So we subtract their exponents. x³ - x¹ = x². Because the x³ was in the denominator and it was bigger, the x² goes on the bottom.
Your new equation is:

Now, I'd suggest factoring each term to correspond with the square root.
126y⁵ = 9 · 14 · y² · y² · y
32x² = 4 · 4 · 2 · x²
9, y², and y² can be square rooted in the numerator. 4, 4, and x² in the denominator. So we pull out their square roots and place them outside of the radical. The rest stays in the radical:

Simplify to get your final answer:

It's easier to explain on paper and in person than over computer text, sadly. Hopefully you can follow along with this.
Answer:
x = - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x + 7 = - 9 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
x = - 16
we know that
To find the solution let's factor the equation

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation


Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


Rewrite as perfect squares


therefore
the answer is the option
A. –6 or x = 2
