Answer:
x = -1 and x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>What are the solutions of the equation (x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.</em>
<em />
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0 -------------------------------------------------------(1)
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;
let u = x-3
we will replace x-3 by u in the given equation:
(x – 3)² + 2(x – 3) -8 = 0
u² + 2u -8 = 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------(2)
We will now solve the above quadratic equation
find two numbers such that its product gives -8 and its sum gives 2
The two numbers are 4 and -2
That is; 4×-2 = -8 and 4+(-2) = 2
we will replace 2u by (4u -2u) in equation (2)
u² + 2u -8 = 0
u² + 4u - 2u -8 = 0
u(u+4) -2(u+4) = 0
(u+4)(u-2) = 0
Either u + 4 = 0
u = -4
or
u-2 = 0
u = 2
Either u = -4 or u = 2
But u = x-3
x = u +3
when u = -4
x = u + 3
x = -4 + 3
x=-1
when u = 2
x = u + 3
x = 2 + 3
x=5
Therefore, x = -1 and x =5

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We have elected to use a table, so that the rows and columns have labels that identify the table content. A matrix can be made from the data in the table.
Tre's walking speed is 1mi/hr.
Data given;
- distance = 1 mile
- time = 1 hour
<h3>Speed or Velocity</h3>
This is the rate at which an object covers a distance within a particular time frame.
substituting the values into the equation
Tre's walking speed is 1mi/hr
