It is 2. (4x - 1) which is false!
Solve for x in each set of parentheses by setting them to 0:
X -8 = 0
X = 8
X+9 = 0
X =-9
You have two x intercepts (8,0) and (-9,0)
You didn’t list any choices to pick from but it would be either if the ones above.
Answer is x=24
...hope it helps
Simply it as follows:
1 + 39 = 40
2 + 38 = 40 etc
18 + 22 = 40
19 + 21 = 40
There are 19 of these plus 40 itself . . .therefore 20 of them
20 x 40 = 800
And finally the last number not used, 20
Therefore 800 + 20 = 820
