Answer:  x= -8  or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x = 8      Subtract 8 from both sides to let the whole equation equal 0

            - 8     -8

2x^2 + 15x - 8 = 0      Now find two numbers that if you multiply them, their product will be -16 and their sum will be 15. An example is the numbers 16 and -1.     16 times -1 is -16  and 16 plus -1 is 15.

Rewrite the whole equation in this form,

2x^2 +16x - 1x - 8 = 0      Factor on the left side

2x ( x + 8)  -1 (x + 8) = 0     Now factor out x + 8

 

(x + 8) (2x -1) = 0            Set each expression equal zero, because for the whole expression to equation to 0, either one of them or all of them have to equation zero.

x + 8 = 0        or   2x - 1 = 0  

  -8     -8                     +1  +1

   x = - 8                  2x  = 1

                                 x = 1/2

How can you determine which of two lines will be steeper from
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Well on a table of data, if the y coordinates increase a lot over a short x distance then it will be steep.

In an equation, you would put it into y = mx + b form and whatever your m is will be your slope. If m is large, it will be steep.
