Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2

Josie hikes at 2 and 3/4 miles per hour. How long will it take her to hike 9 and 5/8 miles?
Leviafan [203]
First, let's convert the givens to decimals to make calculations easier:
2 (3/4) = 2.75
9(5/8) = 9.625

We are given that:
Josie can hike 2.75 miles in one hour.
To know the time that Josie would take to hike 9.625 miles, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
2.75 miles ..........> 1 hour
9.625 miles .............> ?? hours

Time = (9.625*1) / (2.75) = 3.5 hours
