Your welcome!
X = 16
x = - 16
You could do it this way
x^2 - 256 = 0
(x - 16)(x + 16) = 0
x - 16 = 0
x = 16
x + 16 = 0
x = - 16
Since we need to find the final weight, we simply need to add the weight of the truck and the load.
4725 + 7500 = 12225
Your final answer should be 12225 pounds. Hope this helps!
Factor trees help you find the prime factorization of a number by breaking down the number by what two numbers equal the number you are trying to find the prime factorization of.
