Two options:

First option - list everything (waste time)

6, 10, and 14

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 156, 162, 168, 174, 180, 186, 192, 198, 204, 210

10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210

14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140, 154, 168, 182, 196, 210

Second option - divide each option by the numbers to see if a whole number is the outcome.

30 / 6 = 5
30 / 10 = 3
30 / 14 = 2.14...

140 / 6 = 23.33...

210 / 6 = 35
210 / 10 = 21
210 / 14 = 15

Answer:

C. 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugging it in directly

30/14=2.14 (not an integer)

140/6=23.33 (not an integer)

210/6=35

210/10=21

210/14=15

all of the above result in integers, so the answer is C.

D is not even checked because it is larger than 210

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-2\pm2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+4x+8=0\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\x^2+4x+8-8=0-8\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)+2^2=-8+2^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(x+2)^2=-8+4\\\\(x+2)^2=-4\iff x+2=\pm\sqrt{-4}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt{(4)(-1)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{-1}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x+2=\pm2\cdot i\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x=-2\pm2i$
