Answer:

x = - 4 , x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 7x = x^2 + 12

Take all terms to one side of equation.

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0

Find which 2 numbers multiply to give 12 and add to give 7.

a × b = 12

a + b = 7

a = 4

b = 3

Split the middle term using these 2 numbers.

x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = 0

Factorise each pair of terms separately.

x ( x + 4 ) + 3 ( x + 4 ) = 0

Bring out common factor of ( x + 4 ) and factorise.

( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0

Using the Null factor law, make the expressions in each pair of parentheses equal 0.

x + 4 = 0

x = - 4

AND

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

THEREFORE:

x = - 4 , x = - 3

Which of the following is a solution of x^2 - 2x = -8?

Zina [86]

X^2-2x=-8 add 1 to both sides

x^2-2x+1=-7 now the left side is a perfect square

(x-1)^2=-7 take the square root of both sides

x-1=±√-7 add 1 to both sides

x=1±√-7 which is

x=1±i√7 so

x=1+i√7 and 1-i√7

The company wants to print 8000 newspapers daily. How many magazines at most can the company print daily with the remaining numb

taurus [48]

Answer:

Option A.

The company can print $800$ magazines at most

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

N------> the number of newspapers

M------> the number of magazines

we know that

$0.5N+2.5M\leq 6,000$

For $N=8,000$

Substitute the value of N in the inequality and solve for M

$0.5(8,000)+2.5M\leq 6,000$

$4,000+2.5M\leq 6,000$

$2.5M\leq 6,000-4,000$

$2.5M\leq 2,000$

$M\leq 800\ magazines$
