Solve by factoring.. m^2 + 8m + 7 = 0

1 answer:

3 0

In order to solve an equation by factoring, it should be that the equation is equal to zero.
m^2 + 8m + 7 = 0
For this case we have, to do completing the square in order to factor this equation.

m^2 + 8m = -7
m^2 + 8m + 16 = -7 +16
(m+4) (m+4) = 9
(m+4)^2 = 9

Take the square root of both sides,
m+4 = 3
m = -1

Two bags contain coloured cubes.

spayn [35]

Answer:

equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag 1 has 3 red cubes and 1 blue cube. = 4 cubes

Bag 2 has 3 green cubes, 1 yellow cube, and 1 red cube.= 5 cubes

P ( red bag 1) = red /total = 3/4

P (yellow bag 2) = yellow /total = 1/5

P(red bag1 , yellow bag2) = 3/4* 1/5 = 3/20

P ( blue bag 1) =blue /total =1/4

P (green bag 2) = green /total = 3/5

P(blue bag1 , green bag2) = 1/4* 3/5 = 3/20

The probabilities are equal

Find x and the measure of each side. Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

natta225 [31]

The values of the triangles are as follows:

x = 7 units
GH = 21 units
HI = 21 units
GI = 12 units

<h3>How to find angles and side of a triangle?</h3>

The triangle is an isosceles triangle because two sides and angles are equal. Therefore,

4x - 7 = 2x + 7

4x - 2x = 7 + 7

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7 units

GH = 4(7) - 7 = 28 - 7 = 21

HI = 2(7) + 7 = 14 + 7 = 21

GI = 7 + 5 = 12
