Question

(8x - 5)(7x-8) Find the product

Answer 1

Answer:

56x^2−99x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

 Evaluate (8x−5)(7x−8)

Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of 8x−5 by each term of 7x−8.

56x^2−64x−35x+40

Combine −64x and −35x to get −99x.

56x^2−99x+40

Answer 2

Answer:

x=−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :  7*x-8-(8*x-5)=0

Pull out like factors :  -x - 3  =   -1 • (x + 3)

Solve  :    -x-3 = 0  

Add  3  to both sides of the equation :    -x = 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -3
