<span> Given polynomial x^2+8x-48 = 0</span>
<span>x^2+12x-4x-48 = 0</span>
<span>x(x+12)-4(x+12) = 0</span>
<span>(x+12)(x-4) = 0</span>
<span>x+12 = 0</span>
Subtract 12 from each side.
<span>x+12-12 = 0-12</span>
<span>x = -12</span>
<span>and x-4 = 0</span>
Add 4 to each side.
<span>x-4+4 = 0+4</span>
<span>x = 4</span>
<span>Roots are -12,4.</span>

Answer:
<em>Thus, the original price of the pair of shoes was $100.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
After a 60% discount, the sale price is now valued at 100-60=40% of its original price.
If the sale price is $40, then the original price is calculated as
$40 / 40 * 100 = $100
Thus, the original price of the pair of shoes was $100.
Verify applying 60% discount:
$100 - 60*$100/100 = $40
