You use the FOIL method, and how you do this is -
(x - 7) (x + 8)
Multiply the first x by both numbers in the second factor. Which means, you multiply x by x and 8, the two in (x + 8).
With this, you get -
x^2 + 8x
Then do the same thing with -7.
-7x - 56
Then combine the two.
x^2 + 8x - 7x - 56
Combine like terms.
x^2 + x - 56
So now, 7 x 8 is 56
And -7 + 8 would be 1. And that is the value of “x” which is b in the form a^2x + bx + c.
Now with this, you take those two numbers and make the factors =
(x + 8) (x - 7)
Then you set these equal to 0.
x + 8 = 0
Subtract the 8 from both sides.
x = -8
————
x - 7 = 0
Add the 7 on both sides.
x = 7

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
is the correct answer i believe.
Alexis and 3 friends buy:
-Pretzel $4.
-Sauce $1
-Drink $2
First we would multiply all the food prices by 4, since there is 4 people in total.
4 x 4 = $16
1 x 4 = $4
2 x 4 = $8
Now we're adding all the prices together.
16 + 4 + 8 = $28
At this point, we're going to make the expression, using all the steps that we did.
( 4 x 4 ) + ( 1 x 4 ) + ( 2 x 4 )
We used parenthesis to show that those expressions need to be done first before anything else.
This is how we make an expression and we find the total answer.
The expression would be: ( 4 x 4 ) + ( 1 x 4 ) + ( 2 x 4 )
The total cost would be: $28
Hope this helps!~
