Answer: The correct answer is 12.

Step-by-step explanation: If 20 is decreased by 40% the first thing that we need to do is calculate how much is 40% of 20.

20 x .4 = 8

Now, subtract 8 from 20:

The answer:

20 - 8 = 12

Solve the quadratic. x^2+8x+3=0

Reil [10]

Factor
find wht 2 numbers add to 8 and multiply to 3
none do

use quadratic formula which can be used when
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}}-4ac }{2a}$

a=1
b=8
c=3

x= $\frac{-8+/- \sqrt{8^{2}-4(1)(3)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{64-12} }{2}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{52} }{2}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- 2 \sqrt{13} }{2}$
x= $-4+/- \sqrt{13}$

x= $-4+ \sqrt{13}$ or x= $-4- \sqrt{13}$
aprox x=-7.60555 or x=-0.394449
