It’s hard to see the image
X^2-7x+38=5x+3
x^2-7x+38-5x-3=5x+3-5x-3
x^2-12x+35=0
Factoring:
(x-5)(x-7)=0
Two solutions:
x-5=0→x-5+5=0+5→x=5
x-7=0→x-7+7=0+7→x=7
Answer: x=5 and x=7
Answer: Options B. 7 and D. 5
The final answer should be -49/168.
6a+8b; when a variable is next to a coefficient then that means they are multiplying each other, we just don't know what a or b is.
