Solve this equation for x: x^2+11x+28=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
lord [1]3 years ago

Answer: x = -7 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation: When an equation has a squared term in it

such as x² + 11x + 28 = 0, it's called a polynomial equation.

The rule for solving a polynomial equation

is to first set it equal to zero, then factor.

Since this equation is already set equal to zero,

our first step is to factor the left side of the equation.

To factor x² + 11x + 28, we need the factors

of 28 that add to 11 which are 7 and 4.

So we have (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0.

Whenever two terms are multiplied together to equal zero,

this means that either one or the other must equal zero.

So if (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0, then either x + 7 = 0 or x + 4 = 0.

Solving each equation from here, we get x = -7 or x = -4.

So our solution is {-7, -4}.

Answer:

C. –x + 8y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Write in standard form.

x  −  8 y  =  − 56

This is a linear function in the slope - intercept form:

y = m x + b and we need a standard form:

a x + b y = c

y = 1/8 x + 7   / * 8 ( we will multiply both sides of equation by 8 )

8 y = x + 56

- x + 8 y = 56  / * ( - 1 )

x - 8 y = - 56

The equation is  y = 1/8x + 7

Standard form equation is Ax + By = C,  where A > = 0.

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the equation by 8

8y = x + 56

Subtract x from each side

-x + 8y = 56

SInce x coeficient can't be negative multiply the equation by negative one.

x - 8y = -56
