Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )
x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are 5 and 3, since
5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus
(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
No HAHAHAHAHAahhahahsiaijxjs
1) subtract 42.5 miles from 68 miles to find the gross change in distance: It is 25.5. Since this is a decrease, write -25.5 miles.
2) divide -25.5 miles by the original distance, 68 miles:
-0.375
3) multiply this by 100% to find the percentage decrease:
-37.5% (answer)
Step-by-step explanation:
450 - 396 = 54
(54/450) * 100% = 12%
Hence the decrease is 12%.
