Answer:

x=7, x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by putting the whole equation to one side: x2-5x=14 ----> x2-5x-14=0
Next, factor the equation: x,x -7,2 ----> (x-7)(x+2)=0
Now, solve both equations: x-7=0....x=7 AND x+2=0.....x= -2
Plug both in to make sure that they are correct....both are correct

Find the percent of change. Original: 80, new: 64

lara31 [8.8K]

Hi there!

To find the percent of change we can use the following formula:
$\frac{new - old}{old} \times 100\%$

Let's fill in our data
$\frac{64 - 80}{80} \times 100\% =$

Subtract
$\frac{ - 16}{80} \times 100\% =$

Divide
$- 0.2 \times 100\%$

And finally multiply
$- 20\%$

Hence, the percent of change is negative 20%.
~ Hope this helps you!
