Answer:

x = 4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x²+6x-40= 0

The common factors to use for the factorisation are +10 and -4

x²+(10x-4x)-40=0

(x²+10x)-(4x-40) = 0

x(x+10)-4(x+10) = 0

(x-4)(x+10) = 0

x-4 =0 and x+10 = 0

x = 4 and x = -10

Answer:

The correct answer for this equational ratio is x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate for x, we must create the necessary ratios

$\frac{16}{20} = \frac{45-5x}{5x}$

Cross multiply to get

900 - 100x = 80x

900 = 180x

x = 5

Answer:

Slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two pairs from the table of values, say (0, 3) and (2, 11).

Slope = ∆y/∆x

Slope = $\frac{11 - 3}{2 - 0}$

Slope = $\frac{8}{2}$

Slope = 4
