Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The <u>correct answers</u> are:
x=-3 and x=-8.
Explanation<span>:
We can first write this in standard form, ax</span></span>²<span><span>+bx+c=0. To do this, we will add 11x to both sides:
x</span></span>²<span><span>+24+11x=-11x+11x
x</span></span>²<span><span>+11x+24=0.
Now we can factor this. Look for factors of c, 24, that sum to b, 11. Factors of 24 are:
1 and 24 (sum 25)
2 and 12 (sum 14)
3 and 8 (sum 11)
4 and 6 (sum 10).
The factors we need are 3 and 8, since they sum to 11. This gives us factored form:
(x+3)(x+8)=0.
Using the zero product property, we know that in order to have a product of 0, one or both of the factors must be 0. This means we have:
x+3=0 or x+8=0.
Solving the first equation:
x+3-3=0-3
x=-3.
Solving the second equation:
x+8-8=0-8
x=-8.</span></span>
Average = Mean
Mean → Add all the numbers and divide by how many there are
3 + 9 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 12 + 7 = 58
There are 7 numbers.
58 ÷ 7 = 8.3
Answer = 8.3
Hope this helped :)
The answer is x=8 because 8 goes into 24 three times
