Answer:
2 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If x² - 8x = -12
Step 1
We find x by solving
x² - 8x = -12
We equate to zero
x² - 8x + 12 = 0
We factorise
x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0
x - 6 = 0, x = 6
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x = 6 or 2
Step 2
What is x - 4?
When x = 6
= 6 - 4 = 2
When x = 2
= 2 - 4 = -2
Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2

10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2⅝×4=10.5
..............
The distance between Branch A and Branch B is given by the Pythagoras theorem
AB² = (Vertical Distance)² + (Horizontal Distance)²
AB² = (4-1)² + (1 - -3)²
AB² = 3² + 4²
AB² = 9 + 16
AB² = 25
AB = 5
BC² = (Vertical distance)² + (Horizontal distance)²
BC² = (-2 - 4)² + (5-1)²
BC² = (-6)² + (4)²
BC² = 36 + 16
BC² = 52
BC = 7.21
Half way of BC = 7.21 ÷ 2 = 3.6 miles
Total distance travelled from A to B and then halfway from B to C is 3.6+5 = 8.6 miles
