14. (2x - 1)(x + 7) = 0Using the zero factor property, we know that either the first or second terms (or both) must be equal to 0 if their product is 0. We can set each term equal to 0 to find the solutions:
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
15. 
To solve this equation, you first need to set it equal to 0:

Next, it can be factored:

Finally, we can solve just like we did above:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
16. 
First, you can simplify by dividing each side by 4:

Now, set the equation equal to 0:

Next, factor:

Finally, find the solutions:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:
xd = y(L - d)
If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.
Hello! I believe that 630 would be the most appropriate answer! I hope I helped!
F(x) + g(x) = 5x^2 + 9x - 17; g(x) -f(x) = -x^2 -x -1
Answer:
$116
Step-by-step explanation:
The Simple Interest formula is i = prt. Here,
i = ($1,450)(0.04)(2 yr) = $116
