Answer:

x = 6, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 6)(x + 8) = 0, that would imply that either (x - 6) or (x + 8) would equal zero. Using this, we can find that solving the two equations:

x - 6 = 0

and

x + 8 = 0

would yield the two solutions to the equation.

x - 6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

x = 6

So one of the solutions would be x = 6.

x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

x = -8

So the other solution would be x = -8.

The two solutions are x = 6 and x = -8.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Which expressions is equivalent to 2r+(t+r)

azamat

Answer:

t+3r

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a one step solution

All you do is add like terms

In this case the only like terms are the varibles r

2r+(t+r)

so if you add all of the rs together there would be 3rs

So the rest of the problem would continue as normal while bringing the 3r to the end

t+3r

Answer:

okay so I can't see the last option on ur sheet but when u graph this equation the point that lies on the curve is (2,-3) so that is the vertex but if I move up this curved line it passes through the Y axis at (0,-1), the Last answer that I can't see it wouldn't happen to be (-1,6) would it

Is √3/16 rational or irrational

kotykmax [81]

Irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two whole numbers and it has no accurate decimal equivalent.

So its Irrational hope this helped :)
