To solve this polynomial equation, we first factor the left side.
To factor x² + 8x + 12 = 0, look for factors of 12 that add to 8.
These factors are 6 and 2 so we have (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0.
So either x + 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 and solving for
x in each equation, our answer is {-6, -2}.
Answer:
Macy’s
Step-by-step explanation:
let’s find the cost of each shirt
JCPenny’s: 14.99 x 0.80 = $11.99
11.99 x 1.06 = $12.70
The final cost of the JCPenny shirt is $12.70
Macy’s: 17.99 x 0.65 = $11.69
11.69 x 1.07 = $12.51
The final cost of the Macy’s shirt is $12.51
$12.51 is less than $12.70
So, the Macy’s shirt is the better deal :)
