Answer:

other x values are -5,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=0 for x=−6

Apply synthetic division to get the quotient . using that we find other two values of x

-6                1           15             74          120

                   0          -6           - 54          -120                    

                  -------------------------------------------------

                    1           9             20         0

the quotient is x^2+9x+20=0

now factor the left hand side, product is 20 and sum is 9

x^2+9x+20=0\\(x+5)(x+4)=0\\x+5=0 , x=-5\\x+4=0, x=-4

So  other x values are -5,-4

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

216 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

450 students: 20% girls, 80% boys

450*20%=90 girls

450*80%=360 boys

Students having mobile phones: 40% (OF THE 90) girls, 60% (OF THE 360) boys

90*40%=36 girls

360*60%=216 boys

[We honestly don't need to care about the girls without mobile phones as they are only asking how many boys have mobile phones]
