Answer: C.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step #1: </em>
Make sure the equation is in the form of [ Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ].
Yours is already in that form.
A = 1
B = 2
C = -2
<em>Step #2:</em>
The 'discriminant' for that equation is [ B² - 4 A C ].
That's all there is to it, but it can tell you a lot about the roots of the equation.
-- If the discriminant is zero, then the left side of the equation is a perfect square,
and both roots are equal.
-- If the discriminant is greater than zero, the the roots are real and not equal.
-- If the discriminant is less than zero, then the roots are complex numbers.
The discriminant of your equation is [ B² - 4 A C ] = 2² - 4(1)(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12
Your equation has two real, unequal roots.
M(2,-4), N(-2,4)

Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you mean find x, not m.
since angle DEG and angle GEF are a linear pair, they equal 180º.
18x-9 + 4x+13 = 180
22x + 4 = 180
subtract 4 from each side
22x = 176
divide each side by 22
x=8
