Answer:

x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

If P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(x,18) are collinear

then the slope of PQ equals the slope of QR

hence:

(10 - 4)/(8 - 5) = (18 - 10)/(x - 8)

6/3= 8/(x - 8)

2 = 8/(x - 8)

multiplying both sides by (x - 8) gives:

2(x - 8) = 8

2x - 16 = 8

2x = 8 + 16 = 24

hence x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(X,18) are collinear so,

slope of PQ=slope of QR

or,(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

or,(10-4)/(8-5)=(18-10)/(X-8)

or,2=8/(X-8)

or,2(X-8)=8

or,2X=8+16

or,X=12

When solving for x, what is x squared plus 15 equals -8x
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )

x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are 5 and 3, since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
