Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)

Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.

Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.

Solve for x!

Answer:
504 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion
= 
7/12 is 0.5833, so multiply 864 by that to find the number of miles
864(0.5833) = 504
A(n)=a+(n-1)d
A(40)= -1+(40-1)-4
A(40)= -1+39(-4)
A(40)= -1+(-156)
A(40)= -157
