Answer:

x = 1 , 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The given equation is as follows:

                          y = x^2 - 8x + 7

- We can solve the above equation by either making factors or by using Quadratic formula.

Factor Approach:

- Using the constant "7" at the end of the quadratic equation we will determine two integer multiples such that their additions/subtraction results in "-8".

- So the only factor of "7" are:

                        7 x 1 = 7

                       -7 x -1 = 7

- We see that addition/subtraction of first (7 , 1 ) does not results in "-8", However, the sum of ( -1 , -7 ) = -1 - 7 = -8. So the correct factors are ( -1 , -7 ). So we replace "-8x" with our factors "-1x" and "-7x":

                       x^2 -x -7x + 7 = 0

- Take common multiples out of pair of two terms:

                        x*(x-1) -7*(x-1) = 0

                        (x-7)*(x-1) = 0

- So we equate each term in bracket with "0" and evaluate the values of x:

                        (x-7) = 0  , x = 7

                        (x-1) = 0   , x = 1

- So the solution to the quadratic equation is:

                        x = 1 , 7

Answer:

3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute the plus</u>

(x + 4) + (2x + 3)

x + 4 + 2x + 3

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms</u>

x <u>+ 4</u> + 2x <u>+ 3</u>

<em>3x + 7</em>

<em />

Answer:  3x + 7

<u>If needed solve</u>

3x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

3x / 3 = -7 / 3

<em>x = -7/3</em>

Find the sum (2x−6)+4(x−3)
Degger [83]

Answer: x=-2


Step-by-step explanation: First we can multiply 4 times anything in the parantheses to get rid of it.

(2x-6)+4(x-3)

(2x-6)+4x-12

Then we combine like terms.

(2x-6)+4x-12

6x-6-12

6x-18

Finally we divide both sides 6.

6x-18

6x/6-18/6

x=-2

The final answer is x=-2

Hope this helps!
