Answer:

-1 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 + 6m + 5 = 0 is factored to: (m + 1)(m + 5) = 0.

The zero product property states that one of the represented parenthesis must equal zero to satisfy the right side of the equation.

(m + 1) = 0

(-1 + 1) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -1.

(m + 5) = 0

(-5 + 5) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -5.

Moreover, the value of m by factoring is -1 and -5

A drawing has a scale 1/4 in: 12ft. How long is 8ft?

allochka39001 [22]

If you use a proportion, you'll get:

$\frac{0.25}{12} = \frac{x}{8}$

Then, you use cross products:

$12x=0.25(8) \\ 12x=2$

Then, you algebraically solve x:

$12x=2 \\ \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{2}{12} \\ x= \frac{5}{3}$

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
