-4²
Any number repeatedly multiplied by itself has an exponent. so (-4)(-4) has an exponent of 2 while (-4)(-4)(-4) would have an exponent of 3 and be written as -4³.
Also extra tip: Negative numbers multiplied by a negative number will always be positive.
Answer:
x = 3 and 7
There are two true solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve 
, use inverse operations by squaring both sides of the equal sign.
The quadratic expression can be factored into binomials and set equal to 0 by the zero product property to find x.
(x - 3) ( x - 7) = 0
x-3 = 0 so x=3
x-7 = 0 so x=7
Now check each solution into the original equation to be sure it solve the solution and is not extraneous.
and
![3-7 = \sqrt{-4(3)+28}\\[tex]-4 = \sqrt{16}\\-4 =-4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3-7%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B-4%283%29%2B28%7D%5C%5C%5Btex%5D-4%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B16%7D%5C%5C-4%20%3D-4)

STU + STR = 180
8x + STR = 180 [ STU = 8x ]
STR = 180 - 8x
STR = SRT [ RS ≈ ST ]
Now, In ΔSRT,
we have, RST = 7x - 54, STR = SRT = 180-8x
Their sum is 180, as it constitutes a triangle.
7x-54 + 2(180-8x) = 180
7x - 54 + 360 - 16x = 180
306 - 9x = 180
9x = 306 - 180
9x = 306 - 180
x = 126/9
x = 14
So, option A is your answer.
Hope this helps!
