So to solve this you need to reverse factor this problem
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
The common formula is this for factoring ax^2 + bx + c
Now you have to think what multplties to "c" and adds up to "b".
So in this case it's 7 x 1 = 7 and 7 + 1 = 8
So you set it up like this
(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0
So now you can check the factors by multiplying them together and see if it gets your original equation which is does.
So finally to get the answers you need to set each parenthesis to 0 and solve for x.
x + 7 = 0
x + 1 = 0
and we get x = -1 and - 7
You can also plug these two answers back into your original equation to see if it equals 0.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By adjacent interior angles theorem,
If a transversal line 'r' intersects two parallel lines 'm' and 'n' then the consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
a° + (3x - 18)° = 180°
a° = 180° - (3x - 18)°
By vertical angles theorem,
If two straight lines intersect each other at a point, opposite angles formed are equal in measure.
180° - (3x - 18)° = (5x - 10)°
(5x - 10) + (3x - 18) = 180
(5x + 3x) - (10 + 18) = 180
8x - 28 = 180
8x = 180 + 28
8x = 208
x = 26
Answer: y = 2
Explanation:
When x = 3, y = -15
And x and y are directly proportional.
thus x + k ==> y + k
when x = 3 + 17 ==> y = -15 + 17
=> x = 20 ==> y = 2
Answer:
|-8|
if you are happy with my answer, please give brainliest :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value of -8 is 8, which is greater than the other values.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - 2)
Solve 8x-4y+9=0 for y so as to find the slope of this given line:
8x + 9 = 4y, or y = 2x + 9/4. The slope of the given line is 2. The slope of any line perpendicular to this one is the negative reciprocal of 2, which is -1/2.
Use the point-slope formula: y - k = m(x - h ). (h, k) is (2, 3) and m is -1/2.
Then we have: y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - 2)
