Judging by the question you have provided I came to the conclusion that you have already solved your own problem!
If the goal is to find X when X=-15 then your answer for X should be -15!
If this is not the entire equation please post the entire one!
Hope this helped!

For discontinuity of the function:
x² - 7 x - 8 ≠ 0
x² - 8 x + x - 8 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) + ( x - 8 ) ≠ 0
( x - 8 ) ( x + 1 ) ≠ 0
The points of discontinuity are: x = - 1 and x = 8.
As for the Domain of the function:
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 1 ) ∪ ( - 1 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8, +∞ ).
Answer:
The cost increase for each square of carpet by 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is

It is a slope intercept form of the line

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Therefore the slope of given function is 12 and the y-intercept is 50.
It means the initial ot fixed cost of the carpet is 50 and the cost increased by 12 for each square of carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:
A) Discriminant = b² - 4ac = (12)² - 4(9)(4) = 144 - 144 = 0
B) Since the discriminant is 0, this means the equation only has one root.
C) The root is real in this case since the discriminant is not negative. Otherwise, we would have two imaginary roots if it were (remember that complex roots come in pairs)
