Answer:

The solutions to the equation are x=5 x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Since this is already factored, we can use the zero product property to determine the roots

x-5 =0 x+3 =0

x-5+5= 0+5 x+3-3 = 0-3

x =5 x=-3

The solutions to the equation are x=5 x=-3

alisha [4.7K]

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 congruent sides. The congruent sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. So if 2 sides of a triangle have the same length, then we say that the triangle is isosceles.

a foreman must order enough sod to cover a dirt area 36 feet wide by 28 feet long. each piece of sod is 3 feet long and 12 inche

Andrews [41]

If we divide the area we have to cover by the area of a piece, we will get the number of pieces needed:

$n=\dfrac{\text{dirt area}}{\text{piece area}}=\dfrac{36\times 28}{3\times 12} = \dfrac{36\times 28}{36}=28$
